Internet connection with Vista Beta 2 on Asus A8N-SLI Premium

No problem with the Deluxe which basically the same except the heat sink vs.
fan.

The Vista in-the-box drivers worked for me with no need to do anything. If
you upgraded from XP and were using the nVidia built in firewall, uninstall
it.

I have the Sli-Premium - connecting with no probs - but through a wireless
connection, so not quite the same situation as you. I would make sure you
have the latest nforce 4 drivers installed - check the nvidia website and
look up the BETA drivers section for the latest vista drivers

I have the A8N-SLI Dlx board and never could get the Nvidia NIC to work.
Fortunately this MB has a second Yukon NIC and hooking that up gave me an
internet connection. The drivers for the nVidia card are suppost to be "in
the Box" with Vista so I found no new drivers (even BETA) for the NIC on
their site. BTW this was a clean install of Vista not an upgrade from any
other OS.

Good Luck,
Len

Well i got the drivers working no problem, their are two way you can go about
it.
one enable the marvell network card in your bios, and second, use the asus
driver cd in program compatability mode. Both work, marvell is supported out
of the box and you dont need to install any drivers for it.
hope this helps.
