| 826126 | 2009-11-03 17:58:00 | My suggestion would have been to re-seat the original NIC card. I've even struck instances where the motherboard sat too low relative to the lip in the frame where the card is screwed into place - meaning the card couldn't get deep unough into the slot without me butchering the metal tab on the card. At least they bend easily for a quick solution. | Paul.Cov (425) | ||

At least they bend easily for a quick solution. I actually tried that one as well; still no go:confused: At least, now, I've got a network connection. But it would be nice to know what went wrong with the onboard device (please just treat this as wishful thinking). |
