Hello,

I just finished to build my new computer, that was my first time and it's working, almost :) I need to make some setup with bios because not everythink working fine. I don't have knowledge about this and I don't want screw up anything.

E8400
X38-DS4
2x2gb OCZ
8800GTS
Corsair 520HX


First: my internet connection doesn't work anybody know why ?
Status: secured or not connection.

Edit: I just found out that if I unplug the internet cabel and I connect again the internet it's working but after restart computer is still the same - internet not working.

Check the end of the ethernet cable that plugs into the PC to make sure the jack is secured. Also make sure it makes a tight connection to the Motherboard port itself. Do you have the latest drivers installed (not that it would make a difference in this case, but I've seen stranger...).
 
I checked connection and looks ok. I update the bios to F2 (was F1) but still I have to first disconnect cabel and connect again and internet it's working, drivers are instaled from CD which I've got with motherboard.
hmm I don't understand why it's like that
 
so far the hard drive has some bad sectors, I put for refund and I just order the new one. That was a Segate Barracuda it's my second time in my life when I bought Segate and both had bad sectors. Definitively that was my last time with Segate. I bought Hitachi long time ago and it's still working in my laptop, this time I gave a try one more time Hitachi.

Yeah, that's hella-wierd. Not being able to physically look at it, the best I could suggest would be to RMA the MoBo itself and try a new one. Are you still able to return it and get a replacement?
 
Yes I can return mobo but if it is any solution for that problem I'd like to solve it, I don't want again build computer from the begining and wait for replacement if that is not nessesery,
Right now I change the OS from XP to Vista Ultimate. Now to get connection with internet I don't have to disconnect cable, it's enough if I will choice REPAIR connection and after that internet start working.

any ideas ?
