Hi, Hope someone can help my cos this is doing my nut in, and Gigabyte's tech support are useless, first of al my sysetm consists of:
Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP Skt754 Nvidia NF3 250 Chipset Mobo
AMD Sempron 3100 (1800mhz) overclocked to 2335mhz
2 x 512mb OCZ Premier PC3200 400mhz Mem
Sony DVD ROM CD-R/RW Combo Drive
Sony Dual Layer 16x DVD R/RW +/-
128mb XFX Nvidia FX5500 AGP 8x Graphics
Sony Floppy Disc Drive
Western Digital 80gb SATA Hard Drive
3 x 80mm LED Case Fans and 1 x 120mm Led Case Fan
Windows XP Pro Media Centre Edition 2005 with SP2, all on a 550w PSU
When I read the reviews at gigabyte about this board it stated that it comes with Dual LAN and a Nvidia Hardware Firewall built into the southbridge, so of course I snaped one up "like you do" everything you could possibly need in a mobo, However when I recived it and set it up, I could not get the firewall up and running, so I read onto other reviews about this mobo.
other reviews say that the NF3 250 which is what I have only comes with 1 x LAN port (10/100) and no firewall, if you want the Firewall you have to go for the NF3 250gb or the 250Ultra which comes with Dual Lan ports (1 x 10/100 and 1 x 10/100/1000) the bit im confused about is that my board comes with the Dual LAN, so where is the firewall hideing.
Anyone else experiencing any probs with this, or anyone able to help would be much appreciated, I have been a gigabyte customer for years but am quickly going off them recently, below is a link to my mobo, I have tried flashing the bios to F11, checked the bios to see if im missing something and tried installing the firewall drivers via Nvidia's forceware drivers and still no luck.
