Hi Everyone, Im trying to track down an issue with my LAN port,,My motherboard uses a Intel i219V controller and this is a new htpc mini itx build.
So far Ive looked over a few things such as downloading the latest drivers for the chipset and updating the bios on the asus board,,from the very first post
I have been skeptical of a hardware issue due to a lack of any port activity via the normal lights one expects to see from the ethernet port, in my limited experience
I usually see a light in or near the port no matter if it is active or not, this boards port has been silent of any lights so far,,however I thought i might run this by the
community here just in case someone else might have encountered a lan issue with this controller or a problem with Asus ROG products in respect to the network
controller, i am open to suggestions and have a fair amount experience with PC hardware and sometimes do repairs for friends and family.
any troubleshooting suggestions ? I hope maybe I would be so lucky as to have missed an option in the bios setup, but I havent looked into that yet,
Wireless on the asus board appears to work well and uses a qualcomm Atheros Dual band adapter and antenna. So far it performs well in any part of my home
but I prefer old school wired networking if at all possible,
This was motherboard number 2 as the first board came with some bent pins and had signs of being an open box,,this board however came packaged sealed and everything
checked out ok, first post went well after breadboarding it just to confirm it wasnt DOA,,anyone who has built into a small form factor case knows how much trouble this can save you.
So is the i219v have any current issues that might cause a ethernet port to appear dead ?
