Onboard lan stopped working

I've got this mobo with A64 3200. I was trying to see how much it would overclock. I set the ram mhz to 166 and the cpu setting to 238 (2618mhz). Everything was going fine untill I put the cover back on the case. I had set the bios to shut down at 70c. Which it did, after running Sandra for a while. So, I lowered the cpu speed to 225 (2475mhz). Everything was fine for a couple of days. Then I started to loose connectivity. I popped in a pci network card and all was good again. After a week or so, I thought I'd go back to the onboard lan to see if I could get it to work. Since I have a router, I'm set for dhcp. But, it won't assign an ip correctly. If I manually set the ip, I can connect to the other computers on my network. But, not the internet. I tried reinstalling the nvidia lan drivers, which didn't help. Is it fried or am I forgetting to do something?
Unrelated to this question, why would the description for this mobo say dual channel and 800/1000 HyperTransport? I thought socket 754's where single channel only and had 800mhz HT? The mobo manual is really sparse on how to set up the bios. Instead, it explains all the raid settings. What would I have to do to get 1000mhz HT? Just change it to 5x? Or is there something more?

Uninstall the nVidia firewall or use static TCP/IP settings.

I installed the lan drivers again and I never installed the nvidia firewall. I didn't see any option it the bios for locking pci bus.
There's these options:
CPU: Starts at 200 and can be changed by 1mhz incriments
Max Memory speed: Default is Auto and can be set to 166, 133, and 100
AGP speed: Default is 66. I didn't even mess with that.
Then there's voltage settings for CPU, Ram, and AGP

I suggest you unistall all the chipset drivres, use driver cleaner, then reinstall them.
It doesn't sound like that's your problem, but you shoud try it anyways.

Now, are you still able to use the PCI card, or is that having problems too?

Ohh boy. Somehow the router was set to assign only 3 computers with DHCP. I reset the thing and everything was fine.
