Hello everybody,
I just wanted to give a heads up regarding the Asus P5KC and Freenas.. The onboard NIC seems to be unstable and crashing consistently under Freenas/Windows.. I am not sure if this is my motherboard specifically or all P5KC in existence.. It seems that when I put SMB under heavy load it chokes and fatal traps the system using onboard gigabit NIC.. The D-link pci (DFE Series) gigabit card I put in seems to work find and outperform my onboard despite its age.. I've yet to have another fatal trap I just hope I didn't speak to soon.. I am not exactly sure what to do to get the p5kc operating smoothly as I noticed the same drops when this comp was running Windows 7 previously..
I spent a day tweaking the BIOS to no avail.. I put in my dlink card and put SMB under load usually 1 video / large transfer. I should note I am only on 100mb router as I donated my good router to my parents network..
Thanks,
