638054 2008-02-06 20:46:00 What version of Windows is installed tlab??

Welcome to PF1!

Does the entry for it, appear in device manager, and show as working?

Or is that the prob?

638056 2008-02-06 21:01:00 Ok, umm you did install the driver for it from the cd didnt you??

Not from the Windowsupdate site??

Are you on a network at home? On broadband?

638058 2008-02-06 21:30:00 1 . If Nvidia firewall is installed, uninstall it .

2 . You may have to remove the DSE card or disable it . To find out WHY the onboard LAN isnt working . Or to get the onboard LAN working properly .

But a few posts in the ASUS forum for this mobo say:

I powered off the computer and completely unplugged the power cord from the power supply . Waited a couple minutes, then re-inserted the ethernet cable before putting the power cord back in and powering the computer back on .

It automagically started working again . A dumb and simple fix, but it worked . Merely powering the pc off and back on didn't work

Looks like the above helped 5-6 people who were having the same prob as you .

And make sure the ethernet cable is in properly . Is the modem you're using a router, with more than 1 ethernet port??? If you are, you're not using a crossover cable are you??

If you are, plug the cable into the back of the router .

If you havent installed the drivers for it, thats why it isnt working.
