MSI H97 LAN Port Not Working

[ZS-KEV]

Hi everyone!

The LAN Port on my MSI H97 Gaming 3 motherboard is not working. I have never plugged a LAN cable in there before, so I don't see how it could have got Zapped or whatever....
The LED light on the port is not on, so I don't know if you have to turn it on in the BIOS or.......?

I do have the latest Driver for it, so that can't be the issue.

Hope you can help,
Kevin

a technician at a computer store reinstalled the drivers and now the ethernet is working. But witless cards and peripherals of any kind still refuse. One of them told me that he had the same problem and after endless struggles finally reinstalled windows which solved the problem.

Thanks. I also was told that I just need the Drivers. I dont have a Optical Drive so i will pick one up and see if its just a case of having no drivers which it probably is. But thanks for the Info and i will keep the tips in mind if i do have that issue again.
