Soyo Dragon+ Onboard Lan Doesn't Work

This seems to be a common problem with this board, judging from other forums. I installed all drivers I could find, and device manager thinks it works, but my broadband DSL just doesn't connect to anything. After disabling onboard LAN in BIOS and installing cheesy 3COM card, works like a champ. Anyone have any luck getting their onboard LAN to work????

lol my soyo dragon ultra cant uae the crappy cmi audio chip so I put my sb live in and no problems .. for the lan.. are you going into Start|run|winipcfg, release all|renew all after you install it ?? I did that and the lan chip performs as good as my pci nic card.. I do have other issues with this board however that revolve around poor general performance and crashes tho'

Wow and I thought it was just me. I just got me a new soyo board and I couldn't get the onboard lan to work either. I shipped it back to the company I bought it through and they couldn't make it work either. So they shipped me a new board back and surprise surprise it didn't work either. I never did try the ipconfig though. In windows 2000 only way I can make it come up is in the command prompt. How do you release it and renew it there. Thanks

well I tried to do a release and renew. The release fails cause it is using DHCP and there is no tcp/ip assigned (duh I can't hit the dhcp server cause it don't work) so when I renew it just does nothing. Guess it was a big mistake getting this board.
