Is my networkcard broken?


My network card suddenly stopped working today and im beginning to believe that it's broken.
I don't see any lights blinkin on the networkcable socket when the computer is on.
The cable works fine when i plugged it in on another computer.

How do I know for sure that my networkcard, that unfortanetly build-in on the motherboard (Asus A8V), is broken?
Is there a way i can track down the problem or do i have to buy a networkcard?

If your NIC shows no lights at all when installed in a PC that's powered on, then my guess is that Yes, it's time for a new NIC
