Ethernet cord not being recognized by onboard adapter

[gossgaming]

I have looked at many other threads, and have tried everything that I can think of to solve this problem. Here is what I know...

-The Ethernet cord works.
>I know this because I have tested it with my laptop

-The ethernet lights on my motherboard are acting strange.
>They flash once in about every three to four seconds. It seems like it is trying to detect the connection, but cannot

-The BIOS shows that the ethernet device can be enabled/disabled.

-Windows reports that the ethernet device is working correctly.

-Windows reports that there is an Ethernet connection for just a flash.

-All other devices connected through ethernet are working
>I have even tried plugging one device into the port that my computer is plugged into, and that still connected to the internet.


I have tried uninstalling the driver, taking out the CMOS battery, disabling and re-enabling in the BIOS, but that's all that I can think of.

At this point I am just trying to fix the issue without RMAing the board. Right now I am using a WiFi adapter that I bought for fifteen bucks. The pings that I am getting in games are well over 180, and my network speed is being limited to about 3.5 Mbps from the normal 65 Mbps I usually get.

Please go into device manager and let me know what is shown under network adapters.

Also have you tried going into command prompt and typing

netsh winsock reset catalog
