SteveW25561 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Thanks to the excellent guide from mtotho I have my hackintosh working nearly perfectly, except the usual shutdown/restart issues. I'm posting here since this might be an odd networking issue. Specs: Kalyway 10.5.1 GIGABYTE GA-P35 DS3L 2 x 2GB DDR800 RAM Intel C2D 1333 FSB 2.33 GHz Nvidia 7200 PCIe card SATA HDD & Pioneer DVD-R The built in ethernet allows me to browse the internet perfectly, gets a proper IP address via DHCP, but does not see other computers on the network reliably. I seem to see them transiently, then when I click on them I get "unable to connect." The rest of the network is connected via an Airport Extreme N GigE router to 3 other real macs (Mac Pro, Macbook, Mac Mini) plus a ReadyNAS and a media center PC plus a VAIO notebook. On the other Macs, the hackintosh shows up by name but can't connect either. Basically it looks like it gets flakey and intermittent access to the local network (but no Windows shares or ReadyNAS). So, in summary I get everything except shutdown (as expected) and LAN connection to the LOCAL network (I stress the internet works PERFECTLY and STABLY as I'm posting this note from the hackintosh). Suggestions? I've tried unplugging, replugging, reseting the router, manual DHCP, powering off, installing the pkg per clv101's notes (installing, uninstalling and reinstalling) all to no avail. - Steve Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84414-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3l-dhcp-internet-works-but-local-network-not/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigusoz Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hmmm. My specs: Kalyway 10.5.1 P35-DS3P Q6600 2G DDR 667 2 X 500 Gb WD SATA Pioneer SATA DVD-RW Winfast 8600GT 512 Mb Router : Monowall I haven't had this problem. What happens if you manually mount the shares from Go-Connect to Server ?

SteveW25561 Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Interesting: it works when I try Go/Connect to Server! Why does that work and not the GUI version in Shared section of Finder? It definitely works quickly as well: just copied a 1 gig file over in less than a minute over GigE. Your clue shows me my hackintosh definitely sees the other shares if connected manually by IP: where is the configuration fix to make it work as its supposed to? Something must be misconfigured! At least its not the hardware.

MK500 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I am having a similar problem with the same board. I have Kalyway 10.5.1 and update to 10.5.2. The network seems to work well, but I can't see other machines on the network. I can connect to them manually, although I sometimes have problems getting "connect as" to work. My real Mac running 10.5.2 doesn't have these issues. I'm happy you posted...I thought I was losing my mind. By the way, I have a Q6600 and 8GB of RAM on my board. My machine is awesome with the exception of this networking problem (which is becoming really annoying).

masoudt Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 SAme problem here guys: GA-P35-DS3L Q6600 2GB DDR2-800 250GB Seagate BFG 8600GT Linksys WMP300N I can "see" the other computers on the network only intermittenly. The other computers are another hackintosh, a windows HTPC, a windows print server. I can connect to the printer on the print server, but when I try to print, it won't send to it. I only see the other network computers every now and then, it's basically hit or miss with them. Other than this thing, everything else is working magically!

mrogers Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm very interested in hearing from someone who knows a workaround for this, because this is the board I'm thinking about buying but I need these LAN discovery features. Does anyone know a solution? Worst case, we could buy a PCI network card, right?

SteveW25561 Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 I finally solved the problem by installing a different driver for the network interface: RealtekR1000.kext. I've attached it here but I found it on another thread, and I think it has a Sourceforge page. Good luck with it! I used the kext helper app (installed with Kalyway) to install it. - Steve RealtekR1000_1.04.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84414-gigabyte-ga-p35-ds3l-dhcp-internet-works-but-local-network-not/#findComment-657507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
