From day one I've not been able to get the onboard NIC to work; so I threw
in a PCI NIC that I had sitting around and ignored the problem.
Now I'd like to get the onboard NIC working. I've installed the Realtek
10/100 Onboard LAN driver for XP and the system found a TrendNet
TE100-PCBUSR Cardbus PC card. I've plugged our broadband cable into the
onboard slot but all I get is a network cable disconnected.
If I plug broadband cable into the Netgear NIC I can connect to the
internet. The onboard NIC doesn't have a MAC address, the Netgear card does
and I just checked this MSI board with an onboard LAN and it doesn't have a
MAC address either.
Could someone explain what I might be doing wrong with the SOYO board, or
point me in the right direction?
TIA,
Wayne
I'm not real knowledgeable about a lot of this computer stuff, but I thought
TrendNet made cards for laptop computers and checking their website I didn't
see any desktop LAN products. |

I don't think you'll get it to work. I have the same board - and the same |
problem! It's just a POS setup.
I also have a PCI NIC and it's worked fine for 2 years. You'll cause
yourself more aggravation than it's worth!

This board brings back bad memories of the Soyo rebate ripoff. The
Realtek software has a Windiag folder that contains a diagnostic
program W2kdiag. When I ran it, if I remember correctly, the LAN
interface was able to received data, but couldn't transmit data.

Thanx guys.
I did get this board from Newegg on a FAR promo and I actually received my
$75 in rebates after an email to SOYO and a resubmission via certified mail.
The board has performed well although there isn't much in the way of
overclocking capability. Since this is a third computer used at our Summer
camp overclocking isn't an issue.
Initially there was a need to get the machine up and running stable, but now
it is just a challenge to get the onboard LAN working. We're retired; so I
have a lot of time to fool around with these homebuilts, especially during
our long Winters.
Fooling around last night, I seem to have gotten the onboard LAN working but
I have no idea just what I did to get it working.

I also got the rebate but NewEgg had to intervene. The on-board NIC chip
has worked for me from day 1. I am just lucky, I guess. I do use the
driver set downloaded from RealTek. Don't know if that makes any
difference?
