The Nvidia MCP port works, but the GigE port does not, it doesn't light up and WIndows does not see it at all. I tried switching the jumpers but that didn't seem to do it. Nothing is on PCI3. I can't seem to find anything in the BIOS, maybe its hidden somehwere? i only see the Nvida NIC. I just flashed it with BIOS 1011. I got this board mainly for the GigE and would suck if thats the thing the doesn't work ; ;

It looks like the only control you have over the gigaNIC is the GLAN_SW jumper, which should have a jumper cap on pins 1 &amp; 2 to enable the NIC. If it still doesn't work and you really need gigabit, consider a Netgear gigabit PCI NIC.

Stupid question, but do you have the drivers for that installed? It is called a Marvell Yukon and on the CD main menu is the Marvell Gigabit LAN Driver. It is separate from the default nVidia driver that essentially gets installed automatically as part of the overall nVidia driver package.
