I'm kind of a newbie but if I undersand the way this works right when it gets to the screen section it just refers it back to the Moniter and Graphics section for the right driver to use. So in this case when screen says "vesa Frambuffer" it really means "Nvidia"

But with the NIC plugged in X org reads Device "VESA Framebuffer" in the Screen section it goes looking for a Vesa Frambuffer driver to talk to a Vesa bios instead of going back to the reference in the Graphics section and finding the NVidia driver to talk a Nvidia bios.

The obvios thing then seems to be to change the Identifier=Vesa Framebuffer and Device=Vesa Framebuffer to Id=GForce or and Device=GForce and see what happens.

You may just get a differently worded answer but that should still tell us something.
I think it just means that it found the card. That's all. You could nonetheless try it. However, I'd suggest making a careful backup of the configuration files. (and don't just call it .bak. the software will overwrite it next time you try to configure anything with a configuration program.)

I took AhYup's suggestions and replaced "VESA Framebuffer" with "GForce" and it worked. Thank you all.
