Is your router assigning IPs via DHCP or are you using manually assigned ones?

the router should be assiging ip but the damn lan connection stinks im gonna try to re dl the aethos lan driver again

I'd check device manager to see if it even recognizes it. If so try to ping home (127.0.0.1). If you get a reply then it's not your NIC. Keep moving down the line and try to ping the router, then the DNS server, then google or something. Hope that helps. Once I download the driver, I usually put a CD of the NIC driver inside the computer case cause if it doesn't work, you can't go out to the internet and get it (on the off chance it's my only working computer).

What drivers did you install? You sure you installed the chipset drivers? No internet sounds weird.
