Now are you accessing the internet, through a router or what?

Hi Paul,

Check with the MB vendor for an updated driver. The one on the MB disk may
not be fully up to date. If you can obtain an IP (aand how are you
connecting?), does it show a gateway address as well when you run ipconfig
/all from a command (cmd) prompt?
