I have an onboard ethernet adaptor and it's drivers are the latest I could find. Also, my device manager shows that there's no problems with the hardware. However, when i connect a lan cable (not cross over but normal cable) the lights of my ethernet card don't light up and i get 'Network cable is unplugged'...the on board lan is enabled in bios and i have tried several differnet wires and have tried reinstalling drivers... nothing seems to be working.. any suggestions???
