doesn't that board have 2 ethernet connections? did you try both ports?

lol uhmmm gee wow!
i am so dumb..... ^^
i have been using the one port for three years now though and suddenly after a format its the other one...
oh well as long as it works :)

if you're not using the second port, you could always disable it in the bios. then you wouldn't get confused about which driver, etc.
