Onboard Ethernet

Hi Everybody! (Hi Dr. Nick!)

I'm having trouble getting my onboard LAN to work. When I got the computer I just put my Ethernet PCI card from my old computer in without thinking and then just stuck with it. I have it connected to my small home network (Desktop, Laptop, XBOX360) and everything works great. But I would like to get the onboard LAN to work so I can attach my DBOX to the computer with a crossover cable (which I have done over the PCI card, works fine). But for some reason I am not even seeing anything on the comp that would lead me to believe that an Onboard LAN connection even exists, if it werent for the RJ-45 connection on the back.
Heres my mobo: K8Upgrade-NF3

I installed the nvidia drivers, but I still get nada. Nothing in device manager, nothing in network connections, no little tray notification, no --well, you get the idea.
Is there something stupid I may be overlooking?? (Which is often the case)
Or does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Perhaps the onboard LAN is turned off in the BIOS? Thats the first place I'd look.

 

Hey thanks, that was it!
