P8P67 deluxe intel lan controller issues

[kittysox]

Hiya guys, I'm having some pretty servere frustrations with my intel lan controller on my p8p67 deluxe main board. Quite simply put, it's not working, I can move the ethernet cable to the realtek controller and it works fine. So what i'm wondering is there any way at all to troubleshoot or repair a lan port? The device manager says it's working correctly. I just really can't stand when somethings not working on my board. Thank you for any and all help.

Do the amber/green LEDS on the NIC light up at all?

'bout the only SURE way I can think of is to create a LAN boot disk/CD/USBKEY and boot to it. If it connects to the LAN controller, then it's prolly a software issue. If it doesn't, then I would guess HW

Yeah, a PITA I know, and hopefully someone else out there has an easier way to check.

No amber lights at all on the intel controller. I'm totally at a loss.

Check in the BIOS to see if the NIC is disabled in there?

Although it shouldn't be showing up in the device mangler if it was lol.

Only other thing I can think of off the top of my noggin is unplug your HD, toss in a spare one, and toss on the OS to see if the NICs work

Good luck
