"Ethernet" Connection Drop

I did a clean install of x64 build 7600 & tried the earlier suggestion by "levesquemarc" which reduced the problem in build 7100 but does no help in sorting out in build 7600.

Its very irritating problem & i cant use this build if no solution is found, its happening every 15-20 mins, the uploading stops, sound /video freeze the entire computer becomes unresponsive for 4-5 mins. I am using the latest lan drivers Marvell Yukon (Miniport) Gigabit Ethernet Driver v10.70.5.3 Dated 07/21/2009 - released July 28, 2009 WHQL

I tried to find LAN port configuration:
but I don't see such settings under device manager> lan card properties
am I looking at the wrong place? here is the screen shot

Ok, tested the solution posted on nVidia forums, and works flawlessly with build 7100 and nForce. Two days of downloading and streaming at full speed, no single drop.

ranjan2001, the LAN config solution is for nForce-based lan ports (named NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet), try to search a similiar post on Marvell forums/support.

Oh I didnt notice that its applicable only to nForce-based lan ports, seems I will have to struggle with this build till the final version comes out.

Maybe you can change similiar parameters like Flow Control, Interrupt Moderation, Jumbo Packet, IP/TCP/UDP Checksums, Network Address, Speed/Duplex... (obviously with a backup of the default config).

Hello,

Since the first build of Win7 I was having occasional drops of Ethernet connection. The solution is always to disable and re-enable the network card. It doesn't show "Ethernet cable disconnected" or anything, it just stops working.

I thought this problem would disappear over the builds but it is still there. I'm on 7264 now.

I have a Realtek 8139 integrated card. The driver is 6.110.1029.2008 .

I didn't read the last 29 pages, I don't have the time right now. If someone got a solution, I would appreciate to hear it.

Thank you!

Thanks, I looked a the forum and the seem to have found a solution, but the solution is not applicable to my driver (the receive side scaling setting).

Hello,

I have done some testing on my wireless network (with my laptop and my PC). I have found that for both of them, the XP drivers (one linksys and the other Intel) works better than the Vista ones.

Maybe there is something different in the way Windows 7 use the network that interfere with Vista drivers.

If I continue to have problems with my Ethernet card, I will try an old XP driver.

Hi, I am new to this forum but had registered just to post this.
I also had issues with network connection dropping and unavailable gateway since Ive installed Win7 (x64, 7100).
Ive checked many options and finally I think I ve found what couse this problem: topology mapping.
After I've disable it in Local area connection preferences (the settings near IP4/IP6 ) I dont have Lan drop outs.
Try this and tell if it make difference in Your case.
Kind regards,
Piotr
