why is there 2 internet connections with my nforce 2? what do they do and what is the second non active one that I can't disable for? is this the cause of my 1000 ping in ravensheild?

Which nforce2 board do you have? If you have comcast as your ISP that is probably the reason for your 1000 ping. Its not an accurate ping, comcast is doing something wacky. Most of the people I know that have comcast are getting those 1000 pings (oddly enough I am not).

one is Firewire and the other, no supprise here, ethernet

when u are refering to "internet connections" im assuming that u mean RJ45 ethernet ports? If thats what you mean this is why you have two of them....

prob the A7N8X Delux and i think the gigabyte board has 2 as well...

bascially.. to explain falcon's words.. you can use your 2 NICs to split your 1 connection to a second comp wihtout buying a router or what not

NO
on his NF7-S 1 of the reported internet connections is his firewire port. YES YOU CAN CONNECT COMPUTERS WITH FIREWIRE

and the other, Standard 10/100 ethernet
