    when you type 192.168.0.1 in a web browser does it work?

    if it doesn't you haven't connected it properly (cables, drivers, etc)

    I did do my drivers, the internet was working fine until I install the videocard drivers from nvidia.

    Check your windows firewall and any other firewall you may have set up on your computer.

    Turn those off and see if it works.

    If not go to Start -> control panel -> network connections

    and see if any of them are disabled, if this doesnt work pm me and i will try to help you to the best of my abilities :).

    most likely you didnt install the drivers correctly, or theyre out of date imo

    This is what I did when I re-formated


    Installed mobo drivers > put my backed up music on the computer and some other files > Video card drivers > the internet stopped working.

    Its funny, I uninstalled the ethernet mobo drivers and then rebooted. My computer asked me to install some "new found hardware" some bus enumerator I said yes and it worked :D
