Re: NIC caused freezes I am not sure if it's just a defective NIC or if all the Kingstons have this problem but only with certain motherboards or systems. Does anybody think replacing a Kingston KNE111TX for another Kingston KNE111TX will solve download issues? If so I might include it in the FAQ, though it is so cheap to just buy another brand NIC and more convenient than making a trouble ticket.

| I would personally go with another brand NIC. There also seem to be issues with on board NICs like the ones Compac in particular uses. Although that is a different set of problems. Hmm, maybe a new thread with recommended hardware would be good. Get a bunch of input and then organize the results in a FAQ entry.
Things like:
•NICs
•modems
•routers
•UPS/Surge Protectors
•cables
•filters
It would be a nice list to have. |

If you'd like a sample of one, SBC sent me a second KNE111 after that was suggested as a potential problem. My download freezes didn't clear up until I swapped it with a KNE110 [courtesy of ASI] |

OK, I couldn't stand the suspense so I called support and got a 2nd KNE111TX. No dice. Exact same stalls and freezes. I put a $10 Netgear FA311 and raspppoe and bang! DSL as it was meant to be. Thanks for the help. |
