[SOLVED] installing Intel gigabit ethernet card

What do I have to do from the server its self to get this going? boot from cd and reconfigure network settings? I was told intel based cards should work. its a pci-e card on a dual core pentium system.

I edited eth1 to put the IP I want the submask and gateway I then shut down move the cable from the onboard eth0 and to the card boot up and nothing happens. it won't let me get to the webgui with the ip and my router doesn't show it under a different ip either.

how do I turnoff the old card? bios?

another device isn't using 151. and my dhcp goes to 254

I've set it to .125 and set it by mac address with my router as well we'll give it a shot.

got it going. disabled the on board one. not sure which one helped but its up and going. thanks guys.

no problems getting off topic, as long as good info is posted Interesting setup you have

For what ever reason I still haven't gotten anything over 100mbps speeds. Drives me nuts. Also My router likes to reboot when transferring large files to my OMV box. So I was messing with the cables between the router and box as the router has been to asus twice and both times they've said its okay and I actually got a different router and still the same issue. the way I have it set up to the box is a 50' cat 6 from router to wall plate and then a connector/wall plate to a 1' cat 6 cable. So I did away with the wall plate and extra 1' cable and my speeds dropped more. Wirelessly I was getting 4-5MB/s now I get 1.5MB/s wtf? So I was looking in the OMV settings and found the "options" if you go in to edit the network config settings. and there was a link sending you to http://linux.die.net/man/8/ethtool Is any of that useful? Do I have to change any settings?

No idea why my speed dropped when I really didnt' do squat. I've rebooted the box, router, and computer multiple times and still same 1.5MB/s speeds. When with that wall plate / connector and extra 1' of cable I was getting 4-5MB/s. No other changes. Any help would be great.

after all that I was playing with the "option" settings in networks and think I borked it all up I put speed in there to see if it would show me speed and now it won't connect.. oops lol

That's next. I have a 25' cable I wanna put in it place as the 50 is way too long. I just have to resurrect my box and get it to show up on the network... Not sure where to start.

I guess I could do it while I figure out a game plan on getting the network settings fixed

OMV-Firstaid in command line on the omv box? Ill try it thanks. and yes its in a coil.. by an eletrical junction box.... I'll have to look into some sheilds or something as well as re routing it.

OMV-firstaid fixed it thanks man.

I have a new cable coming but while trying to get my speed back up. I hooked up the wall plate and used the 1' cord to connect to the box.... the speeds are back up to 4-5 from 1.25-1.75.. WTF?
