Boris Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Have you enabled the LAN in the BIOS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Are the Network Interfac Card (NIC) Drivers installed? Right click on My Computer, then click on Properties. Click on the Hardware tab, then on the Device Manager button. Look for your NIC under Network Adapters. If there's a red X through the NIC, you'll have to install the drivers from a resource CD that came with your computer or download them using another computer and install them.

gunnythesham Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I didn't see anthing about NIC...But I did notice that my Ethernet port did not have any drivers whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homecomputeraid Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Gunny,After you reinstalled, did you install the Chipset Drivers? The fact that it's not showing up at all could mean the Chipset Driver's aren't installed, or there's something wrong with the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
