Open Question: Realtek Ethernet Drivers?
Okay so I got this Network Card today because the Ethernet port I already had was occupied with my LAN, and now I needed another 'cause drivers won't work for my ADSL (USB). After inserting the card, in Device Manager, it shows: "Realtek RTL8139/810x Family quick Ethernet NIC" installed, however, after inserting the Ethernet cable in the port, no lights blink..My ethernet cables are fine (Both of LAN and the Internet) because I've tested them in the port which was preinstalled. What am I doing wrong? Do I need the drivers? I used Driver Genius and updated it to the latest available for my windows, even now, the light isnt blinking in the provided lights. Is something wrong with the card? But if so, it shouldn't even be recognized by Device Manager. Thanks. Edit: I said I downloaded the 64 bit Windows 7 Drivers (by Driver Genius) and still it dosent work, just 'What is the PROBLEM'? Edit 2: I did specify the reason for using two of them. Actually, its just one network card and one Ethernet port was already installed. The one (Ethernet Port) already installed is used by a simple LAN cable with two ends, in order to connect it to my other computer next to this one....The Ethernet Card I just got will be used by my modem to connect it to the Internet, and supply internet to the other. I'm currently using Windows 7 x64 bit as specified before and I've got the correct drivers for them. In breif, heres the scenario: OS: Windows 7 x64 bit Preinstalled Ethernet Port: Working, using a lan cable to connect to another computer. New Ethernet Port in the Card: Not working for some unknown reason, there seem to be no conflicts in device manager, having latest drivers. Edit 3: The device in Network Connections say "Network Cable Unplugged". What I'm trying to say that its not detecting the presence of a cable in THAT PORT.
