Hey all...
I've got a Gigabyte GA-7NF-RZ Motherboard (man, i'm getting tired of typing that every time, lol, I should probably put it in my sig), and it has an onboard Fast Ethernet adapter. Problem is, Windows won't detect it. It doesn't even show up like other devices that don't have their drivers installed in Hardware Manager. I plugged my Ethernet cable into it, and it lights up, but that's about it. I installed the drivers for it from Gigabyte, but Windows still won't see it is a network adapter. I'm still using my old Linksys NC100, but I'd much rather keep that PCI slot open and use the onboard LAN.
I do have the onboard sound disabled on the motherboard, perhaps the LAN adapter's been disabled as well? I'm going to go turn it on right now.
Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
