Hi 742

If you have AMI BIOS on your board, hit the delete key as the machine is booting, this should take you to the BIOS Setup. Look at the list of items and select Integrated Peripheral, make sure 'Onboard LAN chip is enabled'. Other Item you could check is PNP/PCI Configuration, check that 'LAN ROM initial' is yes.

Good luck
