Network Card issue

[Gothmoth]

it was the same when copying under linux.


but i think the issue was this:

ps:

there is one more thing i have to check.
when testing the card i screwed it in when using the bottom slot. because it should stay there.
when using the second x16 slot i just put it in but did not screw it on.
i did it so each time i tested the different slots.


i just noticed, that when i screw the card in the card moves a tiny bit. because the slot shield (sorry i am german don´t know how it´s called in english) is bend a bit. so the end of the card moves 1-1.5mm up when screwed in.

it seems to sit fine in the PCI slot but maybe the connection to one or two of the pins is not 100%.

??? could this be the reason? should i not get more error messages in that case?

i put the card in without screwing it in and no issues.
then i bend the card bracket a bit, so that it does not move at all, screwed it in.. no issues so far.


i will do verify for while to be sure, even when it´s slower.

make me verify that the configs are compatible - but I've never used mellanox gear, or any serious networking gear on Windows so take that with a grain of salt.

that some kind of extra feature these cards offer that i don´t use anyway.
but i found no way to disable it.

it should cause no issues. it´s just a fallback to an earlier version of that feature.

Good to hear its working !

it´s working now since without an issue.

this was really a strange thing.
i build my own PC since the mid 90s but can´t remember having such an issue.
i may had a GPU that did not sit correctly in the PCI slot but then it was not working at all.

the rear of the networkcard really only moved a tiny bit up when screwing it in.
i only noticed it by coincidence.

but it must have been enough to compromise the connection.
