m4hundred Posted July 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2016 Hello, I can't get over the first step of installing. Xpenoboot boots fine, but when the ethernet cable is connected to my pci lan card, Synology assistant cannot find the server. I get no ip address on the machine either. When it is connected to on board lan, the assistant is able to find the server. I don't want to use my onboard lan because it is only 100mpbs. My pci card is Linksys EG1032 v3. Is it because my lan card is not supported or am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated! My configuration Intel q6600 quad core 8gb ddr2 800 Gigabyte lga 775 ep43ud3l Linksys EG1032 gigabit lan card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted July 4, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2016 the nic is based on the realtek 8169 so 'should' work, embedded nics seem to. But I've had situations where an add in pci nic using this chipset was not recognised. advice would be to setup xpe/dsm using the onboard lan, then you can telnet to the box to do some diagnostics on the nic/drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4hundred Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted July 4, 2016 Thank you for your response! I did install dsm with my onboard lan which was actually gigabit. And I did some diagnostics and my lan card does not show up or get recognized by dsm. So I am thinking that it is just a card that is not supported? Maybe people should not used this card for their installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
