zabrabadaba Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I am sure I am not the only one having this problem, my network stops working after some time. Might be 10 minutes to one hour. When I check the network settings the used network interface seems to be in order and no errors are visible. It simply doesnt work. Cant connect to anything, the net the home network, nothing. Right now I use iDeneb 1.3 and have this problem. Luckily everything else works as it should so this is the last problem (i hope). I got the same problem with Leo4Allv3 and v2. AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+ MSI K9VGM-V (Via Chipset) Netgear GA311 (r8169) = Same result Via built-in network interface (viarhine) = Same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khan_Man Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Apparently it is a common problem. U might try setting the IP address manually (NOT using DHCP), see what happens. Khan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabrabadaba Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hmm, I tried setting the network settings manually but what I get is the same result. I wonder how many users there are out there having the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean1 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 same here, tried to set manual on both network cards with no help, i also tried reinstalling leo and it's still having the same problems :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean1 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 i think it might be an amd/via chipset problem but i'm not sure if everyone has the same chipset as me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 HA! Someone else is having my problem... Just going to paste my post from my thread here. Well I've been able to get everything working except for my ethernet. I'm running an Asus P5N-D, which does not support on-board ethernet. So I went out and purchased a Netgear GA311 NIC. In case anyone isn't sure this card uses a Realtek chip set and according to the wiki hardware guide is compatible. I went with the Realtek driver during my Kalway install. The OS recognizes the card and is able to pull an IP address. The internet works fine anywhere from 5-30 minutes. Than it will pull a new ip address from my 2wire 2800HGV-B gateway, this is what ATT gave me. Once it aquires this new IP address which is way out of the range that DHCP is setup for, the internet stops working. I've tried running a linksys router behind the gateway and than plugging my pc into that to act as a buffer so the address it pulls it coming from the DHCP server of the linksys but still it loses the address. I'm starting to think that this might be a problem with the 2wire gateway and MAC OS. However I have not been able to find anything in the way concerns with this on their website. If anyone has an idea of what to try next I would love to hear it. Forgot to mention that prior to adding the Netgear card, my onboard NIC was doing the same thing, minus it actually being able to connect to the internet. But it would pull the correct DHCP address and than later would pull one that was out of range. I since than have disabled the onboard NIC and have done a reinstall of kalway. Thanks in advance, Dan I'm using an intel dual core.. So its not just related to AMD. One thing i noticed is the IP address it pulls if you refresh your DHCP is way out of range.

Have you tried setting a static address within the gateway range using DCHP manually.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Yes I've tried that. It still ends up losing that address and it is replaced with an address of 169.254.127.246 everytime. I noticed that the start of this address is used in the proxy setup. Could it be a proxy related issue? I did some research on that IP range and wikipedia says this range is reserved for a private network. I'd imagine it is obtaining this address due to the mac being thrown off the network. "A second set of private networks is the link-local address range codified in RFC 3330 and RFC 3927. The intention behind these RFCs is to provide an IP address (and by implication, network connectivity) without a DHCP server being available and without having to configure a network address manually. The network 169.254/16 has been reserved for this purpose. Within this address range, the networks 169.254.0.0/24 and 169.254.255.255/24 have been set aside for future use."

Jappiman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I am having the same troubles with my iDeneb system (10.5.5) and a Yukon2 ethernet card. I am using a intel system (asus p5k-e wifi). And after a random amount of time, the network won't work (once i tried to connect via the wifi card, when the ethernet stoped, and had no luck) I hope somebody has some idea about this topic, or at least got it solved somehow Greetings, Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justvisiting Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 r bios?? what is it?? бред какойта... "go into your bios" some BIOS have a "wake up on lan" setting for the built-in network card, changing that setting might make things work for you.

Jappiman Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 testing on my system, multiple combinations (network off, wireless off, boot rom etc) and no luck in leopard, still having unexpected disconnections... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I'm not going to say I fixed it, but after 3 hours of constant torrent downloading my connection is still stable. I started with a fresh install of kalway 10.5.2, using the speedstep kernel. I did not choose any drivers for the network. I'm using a realtek 8139 card with the native drivers. At first I was loosing my connection than I went manually into ethernet and configures it manually: 100BaseTX Full Duplex, Flow Control MTU : Standard 1500 These setting have seemed to help, but time will tell. Good luck guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Nope, it still drops. Although it lasts longer sometimes. I'm still fiddling with different MTU settings but I don't know if this will help. Anyone have any luck yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 still haven't had any luck. waiting for leo4all to finish downloading than will test with that package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowhelmet Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Update - I installed leo4all v3, and am still geting drops. Also tried the opendns.com method with no help. It seems as if the connecion will stay stable until surf the net and download a torrent at the same time. I've also tried the various realtek drivers that are homebrew with no success. Anyone have luck yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jappiman Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hmm, sometimes (a lot of) times it happens when I open a new connection, for example, then I start to download some files, or when I start an online java game (games.asobrain.com) Its quite annoying: i am downloading something, I go to games.asobrain.com, start a game and it hangs at half of the loading. But I restart the computer, repeat the process, and it works! I tried iAtkos v4i (10.5.4 with update to 10.5.5) and iDeneb 1.3 (10.5.5). Once it seemed to be working allright with the iDeneb installation, but I had to reinstall because my HDD fried . I also used those methods: - Driver from installation disk (iDeneb once seemed to work once upon a time) - Driver from p5ke package on the forum - Both above combined, installing first the pkg from the install disk - Driver from OSX86 tools.
