    Ethernet card not being recognized...


    Hi all,

    I'm really glad I stumbled across this forum whilst on a mad scramble to find an answer to my question.

    I installed the 7022 x86 version of Windows 7. Everything installed fine and there were driver issues which I anticipated but my Ethernet port is not working on W7 or any other OS for that matter.

    It’s a very strange situation. After it was not seen I W7 I booted from my 2nd drive which has Vista on it and it was not seen there so I booted from my XP drive and it was not seen on there either.....

    I have re-downloaded all the drivers for each version of the OS but none are making the NIC discoverable.

    I have an nVidia 680i SLi & I am using the on board port.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would love to get into W7 and start using it fully.

    Thanks very much.

    Hello Milan0, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    Double check in the BIOS to make sure that the LAN port is enabled.

    Hope this helps,

    I had the same problem, just posted what worked for me in another thread:

    Open device manager, and right click on any unknown devices that show. Put in your MB driver CD, and have it look for the driver in the "driver" folder, it will pick the correct one, do not manually pick it because there might be a couple devices that are unknown like mine was.

    I had the same issue, this fixed it.

    I had the exact same problem, i followed the steps listed in the link above, tried everything. It's as if my network card was 100% dead.

    The solution for me was to update the bios on my EVGA 680i motherboard. I noticed that along with windows 7 not being able to see the network cards at all, the light on the network adapter was out completely. Flashing the bios with http://www.evga.com/support/drivers/...t.asp?switch=2 seemed to resolve the issue. After that the boards drivers were all loaded by windows 7 by itself except the sound ones... they didn't work. Downloaded the new realtek ones ect. ect.

    5yrs old, it is still wet behind the ears.
    look and find then install.
    Driver = 7.2.1127.2008

    D-Link DFE-530TX+


    I have a Biostar TF8200A2+ motherboard with built-in Realtek NIC.

    I tried the software patch suggested; no luck. (7.2.1127.2008)

    After installing the latest drivers (Vista32 version is the latest, ftp://ftp.dlink.com/NIC/dfe530tx+/Dr...rivers_700.zip), I was able to go online.

    Problem is, that EVERY time I restart, I have to go into Device Manager, Uninstall the NIC (not deleting software), Scan for new hardware, let it re-install the NIC, then it works; same software, just has to 'clear' itself for some reason.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Thanks.

    Hello RamboGT,

    Have you already tried the Windows 7 7.006 driver version directly from Realtek?

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks for the latest driver reference (09-09-09).

    However, after uninstalling all existing drivers and software, and installing the 7.006 software from the link provided, it still does not work upon reboot; I still have to go into Device Manager and Uninstall, Scan for Hardware Changes...then it works.

    Maybe one day this will work.

    If anyone finds the cure, please let me know.

    Thanks for all the efforts thus far.

    Strange, are you using the auto installation version of the driver for Win7, second one listed?
