I have an MSI H55M-E33 motherboard with Realtek RTL8111DL chip on board running eCS 2.1. From PCI:

Bus 1 (PCI Express), Device Number 0, Device Function 0 Vendor 10ECh Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8168h RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller Subsystem ID 76361462h Onboard RTL8111b on MSI P965 Platinum Mainboard (Guess Only!) Subsystem Vendor 1462h Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.

I have been using the R8110 driver supplied with eCS 2.1. In order to get it to work I needed to define the NETADDRESS parameter.

When I try to use the new R8169 driver (after removing the R8110 driver) I can not access any network - either Internet or local SAMBA. I added TCPIP and TCPBEUI to the driver in MPTS. Also tried defining NETADDRESS but no change. In both cases the driver seems to load and it is listed in the hardware manager. I can also ping 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.4 (the static IP of this machine) but no other local or Internet IPs.

Using the contents of r8169-0.0.4.zip on my Asus M3A78-EM motherboard (the onboard NIC died, so I have a plug in 8169 in it), with quad core Phenom processor, I have major problems with Virtual Switch. Running WinXP under VPC 5.1, I see windows start to run, then it is hung for about a minute while it attempts to get a DHCP address. That seems to have been successful, but no further network activity is possible, and trying to close WinXP hangs the system.

Using r8169-0.0.3.zip I see the same problem. VPC works fine when I use the GENMAC driver, but performance is not as good otherwise.

On my Lenovo ThinkPad? T510, using e1000e-0.2.2.zip, Virtual PC 5.1, running WinXP and using Virtual Switch, cannot get a DHCP address. Then, trying to close VPC causes a system hang. This works better (I get an address, and I can access the internet, and my home LAN) using e1000e-0.1.8.zip, but it still hangs when I close WinXP.

NAT works, but sees a duplicate name on the network, for some reason. I can access the internet, and I can shut down WinXP.
