Ok, 'ol Iron Chef is Back on DSL! , the only problem is that during setup, the Ethernet wouldn't show at all. I can't find it in the hardware page and I ended up having to use the USB port option(2.0) to get online. It seems ok, I'd just like to figure out why the heck the ethernet won't work. Is the ethernet turned off in the bios by default? or ??

Thanks .

Do you see a link light on the NIC when you plug in the cable?

Once while mine DSL doesn't work. This may help
1) unplug from the outlet not from computer DSL modem for ten seconds then plug back. I got 5 lights that light up so if all your light light up u got it.

2) that doesn't work try this unplug Modem again If u have router unplug it. Then turn off your computer.It shut down . Plug DSL Modem ,if u have router plug back and start compter back up all same time.

This happen to me 6 time durring year. Last time it hour get back up or was 2hours but ready to pull my hair out

Is the Ethernet a separate card or on the motherboard? If on the motherboard, install the latest motherboard drivers. That should do the trick.

Got it,finally! ..it was turned off in the bios!
thanks,
