ddkariz Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Almost EVERYTHING works on my PC with the following specs: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 XFX 680i lt nforce mobo Geforce 8800GT Dual Channel 4GB RAM 800MHz Realtek 8139 network adapter IDE HDD 250GB Sata HDD 500GB The only problem is that with high traffic volume on card, the thing stops responding completely, this is not a problem in Windows, however...

CrazyC Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi, I have the same problem. Everything is fine, but as soon as I connect to the internet, things start to get ugly. I can predict that my Hackintosh will crash sometime in the first 30 minutes of being connected to the internet, the heavier I use the network, the earlier it crashes. The ethernet card is a Realtek RTL 8139 (came in a LevelOne box). Things I tried: - Setting the max. MTU to 1472 - Disabling Flow Control, since - during verbose boot - it tells me a line like "RTL8139::fixENetFlowControl: Flow control disabled" - Setting to half-duplex mode Nothing helped. The problem occurs both on a vanilla Kalyway 10.5.2 install and a Kalyway version patched up to 10.5.4. Can I do anything else to further diagnose the problem, could someone tell me a website or posts that I should read, or some keywords to search for? I found this thread with the search term "realtek 8139 problem" using the forum search.

CrazyC Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Update: OK, it seems that - at least for me - this can't be an issue of the networks card, since the machine was not connected to the internet at all the last time it crashed for me. I will do some further research.

I will do some further research. I have the same annoying problem. I thought it was my 5-6-7 year old NIC that was the problem at first. (8139). I went to the local PC store and bought a newer one Netgear FA311 (8139d) which was supposed to be compatible according to HCL. The thing is....it behaves exactly as the old card. I'm also starting to think the problem is elsewhere. Everything works fine until i start Vuze with multiple DL's. One download works but if i start 5 DL's the NIC will loose its IP within 10 minutes or less, never to fetch a new one until reboot. I've tried several different kexts but all behave in the same way. Has no one else experienced this problem and found a solution? I would be so glad to get it fixed since my hackintosh is working really well and is really powerful.
