Hey guys I just finished building my new x79 build - it's the first time i'll be using a pc i've built and moving from mac.
It's using an i73820 on an asus p9x79 pro with 16gb of 1.5v 1600mhz before any of you ask. Today when I finished my build and made sure it posted I installed windows 7 via usb - pretty normal stuff. However upon install I found that my network wasn't being picked up on by my ethernet. I'm running it through a tp link 500mb/s before anyone asks. But as I was saying my network isn't being found despite the fact my tp links are functional and connected. I have a wpa2 password on my network however it's giving me no place to enter the password as I can not find the router. Please note, my new build doesn't have a network card/ wifi card as I thought it would connect off the ethernet fine as it is, if I'm wrong please say so as I can't download any drivers until I can get the internet going on this device.
