FCGIGABYTE GA K8NMF - 9 - Please Help!

I have just managed to send you the shots!

I have received the pictures ok. They are not great quality because of the phone I guess but I couldn't see anything there that wasn't supposed to be. So you can breath a sigh of relief. There is no way they can be hacking your computer unless you plug it into another system like your phone or the internet etc. It is perfectly safe as it is. That isn't saying that it doesn't have a virus or keylogger or other malware on board. But at least you know that they can't connect to it. What you should do now is do a complete format of your hard drive and wipe it all clean. Then you can load Windows and any other programs that you need but make sure every one of them are virus free before even putting them in the computer. If necessary have a local IT shop or someone scan them for viruses for you first.

Have you managed to make any headway with the help I gave you yet?

Hello everyone! I' ve been trying to upload my images for the rest of you to see, but it says that the upload folder is full, yet my file is only 484 kb. That should be small enough.

My motherboard has an On chip Mac lan and Usb host controller, number 2.0 or something. Is there any way for anyone close enough to connect without a wire?

[Dark Mantis]

The question you were asking about the On chip MAC LAN doesn't mean that someone can access your computer without a hard connection. If you go into your BIOS and then integrated peripherals.
You will see On-Chip MAC Lan.
It is just a feature of the motherboard. The same applies to the USB2.0 host controller.

Thank you for the information. So, you are certain that there is no way for someone to connect? Is there any way for me to clear the forlder and upload my pictures?

[Lia]

Could you explain to me briefly what these things are? Please, I know it is boring. DHCP, DNS, SMB, NAStatus UI, LP Remote.

And why was there an incident which mentioned that a successful connection of type 3 (network) had been performed?

What is nVidia On-Chip LAN?
The Gigabit LAN capabilities on certain nForce3-250 chipsets is not really a fully integrated LAN. Like solutions in a few other chipsets that remove the LAN from the confines of the PCI bus, nVidia provides a port for direct communication of a Gigabit LAN PHY (Physical Layer) with the nForce3-250 family chipset. There is still an external Gigabit LAN chip providing PHY Gigabit LAN capabilities, which communicates directly with the nF3-250 chipset.

As a result, you cannot determine if an nVidia nForce3-250 family board has on-chip Gigabit LAN merely by looking at the specifications for other brand LAN chipsets. The on-chip LAN will still have an external Gigabit LAN chip providing PHY Gigabit capabilities. This makes the on-chip LAN more like a port to communicate with the external Gigabit LAN PHY than it is a fully integrated Gigabit LAN chip. The end results are the same however - removing the Gigabit LAN from the constraints of the slower PCI bus.

Please, somebody.

NB In answer to a previous questiion: If your mouse is optical then no there would be nothing to clean. As I explained before there are programs that will do what you described but it is perfectly possible that there was another explanation.

You will just have to accept my word that the details you quoted are nothing out of the ordinary. They simply explain the workings of the motherboard chipset with regard to LAN connection between the different chips.

Trust me there is no connection between the computer that you sent the pictures of and the outside world.

No! Definitely not. I don't know what folder it is that you are talking about so I can't comment on that I'm afraid.

[Lia]

Hello again. When I try to upload pictures, it says that I can't because there is no space, but my file is smaller than 1024 Kb which are allowed. Any idea how I could bypass this?

[Dark Mantis]

Are you talking about uploading pictures from the phone to the computer or from the computer to the internet? If so where on the net do you want to upload them to?

[Lia]

I want to upload the pictures you saw to this page from the computer. To let others know what we are talking about. Any ideas?

[Dark Mantis]

Oh, right now I understand. If you click on this link it will tell you how to do it but I must warn you it is a bit complicated.
