Computer won't recognize that there's an ethernet cable plugged in.

As the title says, can't deal with it. It'll still pick up the wireless signal, but plugging the ethernet cable in won't register as it being plugged in.
Windows 7 64x, motherboard is Asus Sabertooth 990fx r2.0

Have you ensured the network adapter is enabled in the Networking and Sharing Center under "Change Adapter Settings?"

It should be the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller for your board.

try re installing those drivers that came with the motherboard, there should one for the ethernet port

I do not have one that says such. I have; Evolve Gaming Connection, Hamachi, Wireless Network connection (ASUS PCE-AC68), and Wireless network connection 2 (Microsdoft virutal wifi miniport)

I also do not posses the driver disk that originally came with my motherboard.

Go ahead and download the LAN drivers to a flash drive from another computer and install them as John said above.

You can find the Realtek drivers from Asus' driver site here: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_990FX_R20/HelpDesk_Download/

Turns out, installing the drivers for the port again fixed everything. Thank you all for your help. I really don't know why that wasn't like... installed in the first place, but at least it's done now!

Glad to hear the drivers cured your network blues.

Happy net surfing!
