Possibly a fix for the MAC address, on the BIOS screen, press shift+f2 |
| 20 |
then alt+f3 which should reveal extra settings, including the option to |
| 21 |
enter your own choice of MAC address for the nVidia adapter. The |
| 22 |
original mac address should be on a sticker above the paralell port. You |
| 23 |
don't mention which K8N neo2, so you may have two onboard NICs, and the |
| 24 |
stickers MAC address will only be for one of them, the other being a |
| 25 |
digit lower. |
