m4gikal22 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Have you tried both Ethernet ports? I know on mine only the top port works the 2nd one doesn't.. Hope its just a case of plugging into the right one m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damichi Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 I tried to get it work all day... its not just a matter of which port I use, but thank you for your response. I guess only one is supposed to work if you did it like in the lifehacker guide because 1 is disabled in bios in this guide. Is there anything else I can do? Like check drivers or I dont know?

dci693 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 This is just a shot in the dark, so don't get your hopes up. I have this Asus board, but actually haven't unboxed it yet. I have a Hackintosh set up already on a Gigabyte board. Anyway, my ethernet port, which was supposed to work "out of the box" did not. So I redid the installation with the Onboard LAN Boot ROM enabled (it's rarely used these days, but allows your system to boot off a network connection). Anyway, I don't know why, but it got my LAN working. Like I said, a shot in the dark, but everything Hackintosh is YMMV. It will only take a few minutes to try it. Good luck.

Toasta Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Hi all, damichi, glad you got yours working , I also am in a similar situation with Network. I have the identicle set up as the guide, using and following it letter by letter with the following results: Both the wireless and the ethernet will work for perhaps 5-10 seconds, if I manage to get it to connect, then drop. There does not seem to bee any consistancy in getting it to work, I have tried every combination in bios I can think of regarding Ethernet and Wireless to get it to work. I am now just focusing on Ethernet. If OS X recognises I have an Ethernet connection (admitting in the sys pref that a cable is attached, grabbing an IP etc..) it is then it will work for 5-10 sec then drop, the Mobo Ethernet light reflects this i.e. goes off when connection is dropped. If the OS does not recognise that I have a cable attached then the Mobo Ethernet light remains on with the occasional activity blink. The light correctly IDs the connection as 100mbps. Everything else is all hunkydory Any ideas, suggestions or help to get me networked would be greatly valued. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
