    Ethernet port on motherboard not working


    I am attempting to connect to the internet with a broadband connection after reinstalling Windows. It keeps reporting back with Error 651 (Modem or other device reported an error), so right now I'm running though WiFi. My motherboard has a built in ethernet port, which is what I am attempting to connect through. It also has a fiber optic circuitboard installed, but my router does not support it, so I can't do anything with it.

    Whenever I try to set up a new connection, Windows tells me that my computer is not set up to use Ethernet, but that I can still try to do it.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Reinstalling Windows frequently does not the drivers for things like the Ethernet/Network adapter, have to download drivers for it then install.

    You might also need to look in the BIOS to see if the Ethernet is Enabled.

    I checked, Windows can't find the drivers for my ethernet card.

    About to go in the BIOS, I'll post what I find.

    EDIT: Ethernet related settings in BIOS seem to be fine, everything is enabled.
