Just built a PC for my friend. He has a Biostar P4M890-M7 TE with an on board network adapter, but it doesn't seem to want to connect. I already tried all the basic solutions, such as using the "repair" function, I tried swapping out different ethernet cables between the router and his PC, and I also tried going directly from the modem to the PC. The internet works just fine on another PC here, but it just won't work on his PC. I have already installed and even re-installed the drivers for the network adapter. When I do the "repair" function, it will attempt to renew the IP but it will get stuck, and it will tell me that there is limited or no connectivity. Also, after "repairing", under status, it will have "default gateway", "DNS server" and "WINS sever" blank. I'm not sure about WINS server, but I'm pretty sure that "default gateway" and "DNS server" should not be blank. Also, under the device manager, there does not appear to be any problems with the network adapter. I honestly don't know what to do; this is probably the strangest network adapter problem I've encountered. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
