If you own Asus P8P67 please read/answer

Apologies, the Asus forms are nightmarishly slow, and I can never finish a post without it crashing.
================================================================

If you have a P8P67, what color are the LAN lights at the rear of the board for 100Mbps connectivity?
Can you confirm it's as the following :

Thank you

Lan port is the same
orange when connect and blinkin when transfering data
so could you be more specific what kind of crash its
and i dont think blinking is 100mbps. It depends on many things like your internet bandwidth, data allocation, router etc
even when your lan connection is 10kbps it will blink

I have poor network transfer speeds and when I would troubleshoot it, people were consistently asking what color lights the Ethernet port was showing.
When I would say orange, they'd say it's meant to be green and that the connection was bad and that I was actually running at 10mbps instead of 100.

Try installing most recent Intel NIC software 18.8: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Se...ntroller&ProdId=3003&LineId=976&FamilyId=2280

OR/ are you using the latest Realtek 7076 driver?

Try a stock setting instead of overclock of 4.8 and see what happens.
High clocks tend to burn out the nics over time.

Hi Fitz,

I actually updated drivers not long ago - believe it's 18.6 from Intel.

Thing is, my internal NIC tests show 100mbps connectivity/full duplex and no errors.

Will reset clocks and see.

What Bios/UEFI are you on?

 

[newconroer]

1253

1253 is not on the list.

Try flashing to the most recent 3602: http://support.asus.com/download.as...LUXE&p=1&s=39&os=30&hashedid=FpufhQASBFHNvccl

Based on the date, it looks like the website is calling it 1204, which was after the initial major updates that fixed stability.
After that I never saw anything that looked worthwhile - hate flashing BIOS.

I will consider it though thankyou - have a gigabit switch we are testing next week, see what happens then.
