Hardware / LAN Driver not working
2012.06.21, 16:14:14
I am putting together a file server with eCS 2.1. I am not getting a internet connection. Install went very smooth. Everything appears to be stable and responsive except for the LAN. The default driver for the install is an Intel Pro1000 Mac driver. The system specs are as follows...

Motherboard: Super Micro X8SIL-O with 2x IntelĀ® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet Controllers on-board.
http://www.supermicro.com/xeon_3400/Motherboard/X8SIL.cfm?IPMI=N

RAM: 4GB (2x2) Crucial DDR3-1333 ECC CT25672BA1339
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148400&Tpk=CT25672BA1339

CPU: Intel Pentium G6950
http://ark.intel.com/products/43230/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G6950-(3M-Cache-2_80-GHz)

Should I be using a different LAN Driver?

Thanks in advance.  :)

Hardware / TRAP d Intel DH55PJ
2012.03.17, 17:11:49
I am looking into finding the latest hardware for eCS2.1. My current build is fine but I am considering building eCS PC's. I got a trap d.
System Specs... Intel DH55PJ / Intel Pentium G6951 / 4GB DDR3-1333 / Intel 320 SSD

Trap d right out of gate. I tried a few settings in the BIOS like single core mode, ACHI, Legacy, Compatible. Boots Linux fine.
I think the issue is the CPU as it is one that Intel released as a software CPU upgrade. The upgrade would unlock additional cache. I do not have any i3. 5 or 7's (LGA1156) lying around to swap.
I created a ticket. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions on how to get my camera to work in eCS 2.1? I plugged it into the USB Port and camera is not found using Cameraderie V1.5

Thanks

New to ECS but old OS/2 user from the 90's. I got tired of Windows and Linux. I forgot how much I loved the OS/2 Desktop. I have the system up and running (in my signature) and all is relatively good. I noticed that some of the flash video's (espn, yahoo fantasy stat tracker) don't work or lock mozilla up. Snap is o.k. but needs some work apparently. Anyway, I am working on that but and from what I read, they are common problems... Not why I am posting though. I am not impressed at all with the install directions that come with it. I think the info is essentially there but man it is confusing and poorly laid out. I nailed it out of the gate but I am considering re-installing after further research. So I have some questions...

1. Is there better installation documentation anywhere? Suntan Special for ECS looked pretty good in terms of installation but was for version 1.2 (is 2.1 the same).

2.  I guess the support feature from the ECS site is non existent. I have created a few support tickets and they never have responded (been a month). Kind of deflates my perception of $149.00 cost plus future subscription fees. I figured a couple of them out looking on here and Blond Guys web-site. Is this the best alternative or am I going to annoy people in the forum here?

3. Is there any good way to update ECS? I have read the documentation (help and cd) and it is very unclear. I ended up ordering the Suntan Special because that made sense to me and has in-depth documentation, that Blond guy is pretty awesome but I suppose this may not be the place to toot the guy's horn.

4. I have some older OS/2 Warp books and software somewhere but have not put any serious effort in finding them. Will they (books) still apply in your opinion?

5. I have darn near every commercial game sold for OS/2, StarDock, and PMView software etc.. if I recall correctly. Will the registration data still apply and work?

Thanks
