Steady degredation of network connection

Is this your motherboard? ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

Can you take a snap shot of your device manager and post it?

Maybe go to device manger uninstall Network adapters and reboot.

yea, that's my MB, here's my devicemanager, i'll try to uninstall/re-install the network controller.

ok, i uninstalled my network card, restarted my comp and windows found the card again and it's default driver is 1.0.1.211, it says it's up to date. And, unfortunately i'm still having issues.

Also, I'm sure it's relevant, just not sure how: I can play multiplayer games like Counterstrike: Source online, and the connection is fine (low ping < 50ms, no lag spikes etc...). I can connect to my ubuntu fileserver through ssh (putty), though the connection is pretty laggy.

i meant to put this in another post, but yea I tried already with explorer, same thing.

I see two network controllers?
Maybe you have the wrong driver?

Open up device manager and copy the hardware ID's in the post.

the motherboard has 2 ports. I've tried using both ports and I get the same effect.

You didn't say if your running Win 7 32 bit or 64 bit.

I'm sure you went to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers and downloaded the latest drivers.

NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.51 WHQL Win 7 32 bit

NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.51 WHQL Win 7 64 bit

I tried a search for "M2N-SLI Deluxe network problem" and others have the same problem. They decided on buying a network card and disabling the on-board ethernet. You can buy one at bestbuy for $25 and see if that fixes your problem. You can always return it.

sorry, I have 64bit and I just installed that driver you linked, I had found a different one.73.1.4.0 was the version number I got it from NVIDIA DRIVERS 15.49 WHQL It'd be nice if my 2 onboard ports worked... I hadn't done a ping, so I thought I'd see what results I got. here's the pic if it helps any. Is there any way to test a bigger packet or make more attempts?

Test it on Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Write back if you think you fixed it. We would all like to know. :)
