After a few weeks of putting it off I have finally plucked up the courage to plug my ethernet cable into the desktop. Firstly I put the NTL broadband disk into the drive and followed the instructions. It gets to the 'backing up files' bit then brings up an error saying there is no NIC installed. Physically install and try again !!!!????

WTF is all that about the motherboard is a brand new (well was when I got it a fortnight ago) Gigabyte K8 Triton GA-K8NF-9 with and onboard network socket.

Have just had a quick looksie in the bios to see if anything needs enabling but doesnt seem to be anything there (unless im looking in the wrong place !)

Tried the Gigabyte site but isint any help at all

Any ideas guys ???

Oh I tried to ping google but immediately bombed out


just checked my Device manager. under Network adapters.


Theres 2 1394 net adapters and 1 NVIDIA nForce Networking controller

So I presume thats all ok ? why the fook wont my internet work then ?
