I have just bought an Asus P5WD2-Premium motherboard
(http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=184&model=493&modelmenu=1),
it has 2 ethernet ports on it : 'marvell 88e 8001 gigabit ethernet' and
'intel(r) tekoa ethernet', on my old system i was running a 'Netgear FA311
Fast ethernet adaptor PCI card' and had no problems connecting via cable
modem to my ISP (optusnet) through this.

I installed the new motherboard and i installed the ethernet drivers which
came on the motherboards CD, the system works fine, except i cannot
connect to my ISP through the onboard ethernet adaptors, the drivers
install without a hitch, and the devices report that they are working
properly, but i cant get a connection through them to my ISP, i then tried
the latest drivers off the ASUS website, and i had the same problem, i
then installed my old network card 'Netgear FA311' and the connection
works fine.

When i plug the RJ45 into the motherboards ethernet port #1 the LED
responds with a slow steady orange flash, but this will go on until i
unplug it (up to 10 minutes), and it can never seem to get a connection,
and when plugging it into the motherboards ethernet port #2 i get no light
at all, but when plugging it into my 'Netgear FA311' it gets a connection
almost instantly,

Is there something i am overlooking, can someone plese help me out here?


You need TCP/IP installed and linked to whatever network adapter you are
using. If you are running windows XP, run the network setup wizard in the
control panel. Specify that you connect via LAN. -Dave
