Ok so I bought an ABIT Fatality AN8 Sli ...
ok now that you've all stopped laughing I need some pointers.
the LAN doesn't work and for some reason I can't get a PCI NIC to work right either, everything looks as it should in under device mgr, network connections and IE, no errors or yellow flags. I have a cable modem that looks as though it's working as it should with the activity lights blinking as well as the LAN port activity lights, but i can't connect to the internet or ping anything through a dos prompt window...everything looks like it's working but it isn't.
Cables are good and the modem works fine on another system, so I don't see how it could be that and the tards over on the abit forums either ignore or seem more concerned about forum rules than actually helping with troubleshooting.
I'm not using nvidia's firewall or a router atm, and i have updated the bios to 17 with nvidia's nforce 6.66 drivers
it's really odd becuase everything else on the board works fine, boots good with no post codes.
any idea's?
