csdeven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I read the NVIDIA sticky. Is the NVIDIA firewall the same as the NVIDIA nForce networking controller? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fannar Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 i believe so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 The NVIDIA firewall is known as network access manager. It can be installed separately from the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdeven Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I updated my driver for this controller and did not get an option for "NAM". I got options for these four items:1) NVIDIA Smbus driver2) NVIDIA SMU driver3) NVIDIA ethernet driver4) NVIDIA media shieldAre any of those the culprit? I think it might be item 4, but I'm not going to mess around until I know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 "media shield" almost screams "firewall software", so yes try removing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uClient Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 nvidia firewall refers to their 'activearmour' firewall which is supported on select nforce4 chipsets. it is not present on the 6 or 7 series motherboards however NAM is, and none of of components listed in the post above constitutes a hardware firewall. the media shield refers to nvidia RAID implementation only. NAM is required for enabling teaming and packet acceleration on user selected files for instance, perhaps uTorrent incorrectly detects a firewall just becuase nvidia drivers are present?

Firon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 No, the firewall has a specific dll of its own. NAM is a firewall and crashes just the same as all other versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdeven Posted June 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 OK. Well I am confident that I am not having nvidia firewall issues. I removed the media shield but did not notice any real change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uClient Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 "NAM is a firewall and crashes just the same as all other versions."or it could be that uTorrent crashes NAM and is the only application to date to have crashed NAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 if your computer crashes because of uT you have any of the following 1) bad drivers 2) bad hardware 3) bad software.uT doesn't just crash on its own. Follow the procedures to help elucidate your problem in a new thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Nah, NAM crashes happen with all sorts of P2P apps. It's just poorly coded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
