Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

So I get a new computer. It's a 700mhz "e-machine :l and it has XP professional on it. First problem, the god damn ethernet plug is there, but doesn't do a god damn thing. It lights up, but when I connect it, it doesn't do anything and the network still says it's unplugged. I get this error when I first start the computer that says:

WARNING
ERROR
Resource Conflict- PCI Network controller in slot 3
Bus:01, Device:0B, Function:00

Ok, slot 3 is where the netgear ethernet plug is. Why is there an error there? Should it not be in slot 3?

I also have tried to use every god damn linksys driver that is available to the public and it will not ------- work with this other computer. Is it because it's XP pro? I have it working flawlessly on my computer with XP so what's the problem? I've tried to use the same god damn drivers I installed on my computer, but it will not ------- work. :S

Any help? :-\

Wow Boost, you got nothin but bad luck with computers it seems.

Uninstall the driver for the ethernet card and reinstall it, see what happens.

WARNING

something is using the same resource as the nic card, any other cards in the computer?

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

if you bought it from a store or shop take it in and tell them to fix it
problem solved otherwise i have no idea

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

its a 700mhz... i dont think they sell them new that slow ;)

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

I know. :3 I'm scared to uninstall. Will I be able to install afterwards without going on the internet? :l

There is a regular dial up internet slot in #1, but that's it. It looks like I have 4-5 empty slots. :l

It's going back tomorrow, but I'd rather get it working tonight if I can.....but I can't. :'(

Ha Xp is evil.

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

At least XP is better than ME. Boost, you piss off the computer gods at some point? Run of bad luck sucks man... I'd just take it back to wherever you got it, or call geek squad...

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

Boost dont uninstall anything yet. just try moving the card to another slot and see if that works. the error is saying that the resoucer that slot 3 has assigned to it are in use by some other component. so by moving th slot you will be using diff resources than slot 3 and it should work. i have had similar problems and almost always this fixed it for me.

This is the point where having a computer guy as a friend is useful.

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

mistake #1 - purchasing an e-machine

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

Fuuuuck, serious? :l

I'll give it a shot in a few minutes. I had to take a break from it before I just hammer the fucker into pieces. :7

Would you like to be my friend? ;D

Mac time.

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

Just tried that, then instead of saying "Resource conflict- PCI Network Controller in slot 3" it says "Resource conflict- PCI Network Controller in slot 2. ::) This piece of ---- is going back and if I get any sort of bullshit story it's going to be a very bad day for the computer geeks that sold it to me. :3

You've got a resource conflict with two or more devices. You will have to go to the control panel, system, device manager, and then find the device that is conflicting with your network card. Disable that device or assign it a new IRQ (interrupt request value). That should take care of the problem.

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

how much did you buy that 700mhz emachine for? I'm guiessing at least 250?

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

$195. Why do you say at least $250? I thought they were junk? :l

E-machines are serious junk... if you live near me i have a extra 1.3Ghz board and chip you could have for free w/ 512k ram and ATI video card :)

if it is an on board ethernet adapter then you should be using that, use the correct drivers for it from the manufactures website.. letting xp decide what to use is not going to help you any. if you have a add on ethernet card disable the on board from the bios (basic input output settings, press del or f2 on startup). if all else fails craigslist always has pretty good deals..

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

Did you try my suggestion? ???

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

I think he meant that if you payed more that that you got raped

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

It just has a netgear ethernet card that I'm sure they plugged in right before they gave it to me without checking it out. How would I get the correct drivers from the website....if I can't get on the internet? :P 'm just going to take it back and tell the fucker to fix it. It's their problem.

I don't see any devices that could be conflicting with it. :S

when i bought my E-machine last year i put my own ethernet card in and didnt have to do ----, maybe try using a different slot??

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

The computer geek is trying to say I fucked it up and changed ---- around. ::) He's about to get an e-machine shoved up his ass. If the stupid cock sucker would have tested the god damn thing before he gave it to me we wouldn't have this problem. It's obvious he didn't test it because the ethernet hardware wasn't installed until I turned it on and let it detect it. :7

Hey wow, looky there. I'm on the internet with the e-machine on both an ethernet connection and a wireless connection. The ethernet worked as soon as I plugged it in and the wireless adapter installed instantly when I plugged it in. Imagine that. :3

Problem solved. I hate computers.

Didn't you say in the original post that when you plugged it in nothing happened?

Re: Ok seriously, it's not funny anymore
 

Yes, my GF took it back to the computer geek we got it from and he put a different card in and was telling her I changed and fucked up all kinds of ----. ::) I was about ready to go down there and strangle a nigga. :7 It's funny that he blamed me for this and that, but it had errors to begin with and why did he change the ethernet card to another one? Oh let me guess, I fucked that up too? ::) Oh well, it works now and I don't have to ---- with it anymore. :S
