Loss of Internet connection due to new graphics card installation
I recently purchased a new PC with an on board 32MB graphics card and wanted
to install the NVidia GeForce 2 card from my old PC but when i do lose connection permedently, however the card works fine from what i can tell, so i called the technical support for my ISP and they figured it is a problem that has something to due with connection levels and it requires a service call to fix. But when i remove the GeForce 2 card and plug the monintor back into the on board card i regain a consistant connection. Any advice-on how to get the new card running and keep my connection going at the same time- is most apprecaited. -- JeFF |

Try disabling the onboard video in the bios settings.

We can not help you with the method of turning off the onboard video card in
your BIOS. You would need to tel us the model of the motherbaord in order for us to locate this info or check in the PC's manual. "Draconian Devil" wrote in message ...

Loss of Internet connection due to new graphics card installation
What method are you using to connect to the "internet"? On many
motherboards the PCI interupt in the slot next to the AGP slot is shared with the AGP card. If you have a bus hogging Video card it can cause issues with the shared slot. So if the NIC or modem is next to the AGP slot try relocating it.
