Hi.
I have got a new system with below mentioned config.
AMD Phenom II X4 920,
Asus M3A78EM mobo with Galaxy GeForce 9800 gt 1Gb DDR3 GPU,
2 X 2 Kingston 2GB DDR2 RAM.

I have a broadband connection for my PC( which i plug in the LAN socket of mobo) and wish to share it with the other PC VIA mine.
So, I have installed another LAN card on the motherboard. We can very well play on LAN,
but when i try do do data transfer from other PC to mine, i get the WINDOWS SPECIAL :??: 'Blue Screen' Dump and the system restarts. :heink:
Also we are not getting the net on the other PC.
Is it Drivers problem or card problem or mobo?
Is there any BIOS update or so that i need to do for this mothreboard?

Also my net connection is to be for one PC, but i need to share it VIA mine with other PC.
Any solutions? Dont wanna go for a Router right now. Will a bridge work How to create one? :D

Don't be cheap, just spend $50 on a router and save yourself the headache of a funky setup.

You mention the connection if just for one PC. Your ISP probably uses your MAC address to lock down the connection. Buy a decent router and have it clone your PC's MAC address and you'll be good to go.
