The P5K-E motherboard w/q6600 isn't picking up the network. When I put network cable in the back of box, I get no lights at all. I am running Vista 64 bit. I don't believe OS is the issue. I ever seen an instance where none of the network lights would come on when you put in a live network cable. Any ideas?

Is the system seeing the ethernet connection. I'm not familiar enough with Vista, is there something like 'my computer' where you can make sure it's not disabled?

Yea.. like the Bios setting.. I didn't see anything, no lights on in the back... Well besides Lan being disconnected or connected. I am updating the bios right now but besides that I am at a lost. I have another computer in the room seeing the network. Strange

have you loaded the drivers for your ethernet port yet?

i always forget to do this when re-installing. this may be the issue.

well I downloaded the most recent drivers for both the motherboard and drivers for the LAN connection. Again weird that no lights go on back of the computer when I pull in the drop. Making wonder if it is a bad LAN connector on the motherboard.

Do you have an ethernet card you could try?

I end up buying a wireless card... Asus support isnt open on the weekend.. Not looking good though.. googles search on such a common motherboard aren't showing any others having this issue.

Is it the ethernet port or the wireless that isn't working? You might check here to see if there is someone with the same problem;
