DFi Lanparty nf250gb UT Lan Problems

[Djhazzard]

OK...so i bought my lanparty mobo from newegg, and i got it friday. Everything went right in, started right up no problem. Installed the drivers, but when i went to get on the internet to check for BIOS updates i found that my lan wasnt even working. I noticed that the driver is installed but in genie bios the MAC is disabled..but when i enable it it wants a MAC address. After i just copied it from another computer, it wont stay in there. So my LAN isnt working, and i tried useing a NIC card but that is doing the same thing. I REALLY dont want to RMA it...has anyone had this problem?

MAC adress is on a sticker on the mobo itself.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Besides the fact that the BIOS will not keep ANY address I enter, what other suggestions can you make?

disable it & install a pci network card.

Go to the DFI-Street forums, I remember that problem being mentioned a few times and some workarounds being discussed. I think some just caved and installed a PCI NIC. Personally, I haven't had any problems with mine at all.
