Hello friends,

I have Asus P8B75-M LX motherboard purchased 6 months ago. I have a little problem here. When I have connected my LAN cable to on-board LAN port then Window takes 10 min. to identify network after started up. Until it identifies, it keep saying "Network Cable is Unplugged". During this, in modem the LED for the LAN connectivity becomes ON for one second and OFF for one second. After 10 min. Window shows my LAN network is working and with this the LED on modem becomes normal.

On the other hand if I connect a PCI LAN card and use it instead of on-board LAN port I don't face any delay in connectivity, internet is active as soon as windows boots up completely. And LED on modem remains normal, like it fluctuate rapidly when I use internet and remains stable when I don't.

I don't understand why it does work fine with PCI LAN card but not with on-board LAN port. My specs :-

Mobo= P8B75-M LX

Processor= Intel i3 3220

Windows 8 Pro 64 bit

Guys please help me out. if you need any further information please ask me....

Thanks for the response. I did exactly what you said but to no avail. I downloaded the driver from your link and from Realtek too but problem persists in both cases. I think there must be some adapter settings to be changed but don't know what to change, I will try though.
