    If the card isn't seen in device manager then you should first reseat the card or determine why the card isn't seen in device manager. Your problem is below the device driver level

    any exlamation marks or unknown devices in device manager? is the card enabled in the bios? what is the make & model# of the computer or motherboard?

    Check the BIOS to see that the onbaord NIC (Network Interface Card) is enabled (It may be called "onboard Ethernet".

    If that doesn't resolve the problem, your onboard NIC may have failed and you will need to buy an add-on card or USB Network adapter.
