/edit: if it just works on the ethernet card, thats fine. Everything else on this computer works like a dream, including the wifi adapter
Ok, so a friend wanted me to put together a build for his shop
problem is... ethernet will not work
list of things i've tried
installing the lastest bios / chipset drivers
several different ethernet drivers
disabling i217 port and trying to use the 210 (came up with no ethernet port in device manager)
reinstalling both network location awarness service (nlasvc) and base filtering engine (bfe)
fresh install of windows 4 times
TP-link ethernet card (will not show up in device manager) - TG-3468 (however, i have not tried any slot except PCIE slot 1)
Please, someone tell me i'm having a dumb moment and let me know a fix.
