| |
I am trying to connect two identical MSI K8N Neo4-F servers with NVIDIA nForce4 gigabit Lan ports. When the two ports are connected together via a crossover cable, neither computer is able to detect a carrier on the Lan ports and are not able to communicate. When either of the nForce4 gigabit port is connected to a Lan port on another computer with a different Lan hardware or to a port on a switch the forcedeth drivers detect a carrier and are able to communicate.
It appears that the nForce4 Gigabit ports are not generating a carrier. Does the nForce4 not provide standard ethernet ports? If they are standard ethernet ports, how do I tell forcedeth to generate a carrier? Also how do I get forcedeth to run at a Gigabit?
Thanks for any help,
Best regards, Arne R. van der Heyde vanderHeydeAR@summitinstruments.com
