paulvincit Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've been using 100 BaseT Ethernet to date but with the advent of 4.3 B4/etc and cached write access I'm seriously considering upgrading to 1000 BT. So I'd appreciate any recommendations / caveats regarding PCI-Express <-> 1000 BaseT adapters / chip sets. cheers Quote Link to comment

mikamav Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I've been having network dropout issues latelty isolated the the unRaid, so since i'm using the mobo NIC, I ordered the Intel Pro NIC suggested in this thread. Hoping it will fix my issues. Once it arrives and I've dropped it in, how would I go about making sure this is used by the unRaid software instead of the mobo NIC? Quote Link to comment
RobJ Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 how would I go about making sure this is used by the unRaid software instead of the mobo NIC? In your BIOS, disable your onboard NIC. Quote Link to comment
paulvincit Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 The Intel Pro PCI-E Gigabit NIC works like a champ. Thanks again. - paul Quote Link to comment

cmhardwick Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm going to have to try mine again. When I tried it before, same port, same cable, etc, it wouldn't sync-up. Got a "sync beat not detected" or something similar in the log so I switched to plain old PCI Intel Pro. Thanks for the post about it working. Quote Link to comment
