I put together a new computer last week and now I can only seem to connect to the internet when I am directly connected to the modem with no router in-between. I have tried both of my routers, a Belkin and a SMC. The MOBO is a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI, it has a single gigabit ethernet connection. I also tried adding a PCI Ethernet card and made sure all drivers and updates were installed but neither card will connect with a router there. I know the pci card works b/c I had it in another box. When I use a router is says low or no connectivity and I usually get an apipa address or even if it does get an ip from the router I still can?t really connect. Would it be something with the mobo? I can connect to the internet fine directly connected to the modem. I also tried configuring a static ip address, no dice. i am connecting through a cable modem.
