try removing network cable from connector on IO panel and look at the 8 pins to be sure that they are all straight (not bent or touching each other) , then install a network card (hopefully you have one just lying around and don't have to spend anything for the use of it for the test, borrow if you have to) , then start computer , "delete" to enter BIOS and disable onboard network , "F10" to save and restart. with some luck that will resolve your problem and your OS will detect the new card and you'll be on your way.
