Onboard LAN Problem

So I recently bought a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard for my new computer and formatted my hard drives last night. I installed all the chipset drivers on the included CD, which included the onboard LAN.

The onboard LAN card is the Marvell Yukon 88E8053. After installing it, the connection icon shows in the system tray and it says it's connected, but when I try to load websites, nothing comes up. I also noticed that while the website tries to load, the number of sent packets keeps resetting to 0 for some reason.

I also tried downloading the most recent drivers from the Marvell website and the same problem comes up after installation. My IP and DNS have all been assigned and the computer is showing up on the router's DCHP client list, but still no internet.

I'm running...
intel e4400 @ stock
2gb g.skill ddr2 dualchannel
gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 rev 3.3
2x seagate 320gb sata hdds
windows xp x64 pro corporate sp2

Any help is much appreciated.
 
Try assigning a static IP adress.

Are you sure the router is connecting to the internet, do you have any other computers to test it on?
 
The computer I'm currently posting on is connected via wireless adapter to the router. I tried plugging in the ethernet cable and it works too.
 
Bump. Just reformatted and installed Windows XP x32 Pro Corporate SP2 and I'm still experiencing the exact same problem.
 
Just got off the phone with the ISP. They told me to do a bunch of stuff... recycle the modem and router, fiddle with some IE options, lan settings, repairing the connection, disabling firewalls. Nothing too useful to my situation. They said everything looked fine from their end, modem-wise.
 
Have you tried a static IP like the previous poster mentioned? Do you have a an extra NIC card you can throw into the rig and see if you get an IP? Have you tried to plug directly into the modem? Different network cable? If all else fails then it may be a defective onboard nic since you reloaded the OS and updated the drivers already.
 
I get an IP as it is right now. It's set at 192.168.1.101 and it's still not working. I don't have another ethernet card handy to just toss into my computer and I've tried cycling the modem and router, plugging directly into the modem, using a different ethernet cable, and some others.
 
My week of frustration with the DS3 back when I built my c2d rig....similar issue with the onboard, I had to slap in a spare PCI NIC. So many other issues with the DS3...smashed it in my garage and tossed it. Went back to trust Asus...should have stayed there.

Anyways...separate your issue...can you ping your routers LAN IP and get replies?
Can you log into your routers web admin?

If so..the NIC is working..your router is probably the issue. If not...then the onboard is your issue.
 
I can ping the router and DNS server ip's fine. I can't access the router from my new computer, but I can access the router from every other computer in my apartment.
 
Try resetting your winsock stacks. You may be having this problem.

go to start->run
type "cmd"
hit enter/return

type netsh /int /ip reset c:\reset.log


If this still doesn't work
go to registry
Delete Winsock key under HLKM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Delete WinSock2 key under HLKM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services
Restart Windows
You'll have no network connectivity.
Go to Network Connections, right click on your NIC adapter --> Properties.
Click "Install..." --> Protocol --> "Have Disk..."
Type or Browse to your %windir%\inf
Choose "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"
Once this is finished, you may have to reboot the computer. The keys that were deleted should be recreated.

You may also have to remove other Winsock/Winsock2 keys under CurrentControlSet001 CurrentControlSet002. Most of the time, you don't have to.
 
What adapter are you using that plugs into the Nic Card? Are you using a bridge? Otherwise I'm not really understanding what your trying to do?

Need a little more info... If you have a wireless adapter plugged into this same computer you may need to disable it before the LAN Cable will work. (then enable the network adapter and maybe even run ipconfig - release then -renew)

It looks like you are pulling an IP from DHCP though...If it is a static IP you set is it a duplicate for another device?

I had problems with my marvel lan on my MB too untill I got new drivers (DFI)
 
Did you assign a default gateway?

Have you checked the cable/connection? If it's hand-terminated, try replacing it with a factory terminated one.
 
have you tried just using the latest drivers from Gigabyte's website for the LAN?

I just want to get this straight: You can't connect to the internet wirelessly or wired? Or you can connect to the internet just fine through the wired connection, just not the wireless? Or you're just using the wired connection and you get nothing?

Well if it's Question 3, try install the latest LAN drivers from Gigabyte's website, nor Marvell's website.
 
Ok, just to make it clear, the problem is that my computer says its connected to the internet (the ip address is router assigned, 192.168.1.107, dns servers are assigned, subnet mask, and whatnot) and I can ping websites and other computers on the network, but websites, aim, msn, etc won't load. My computer is the only computer connected via wire to the router. The rest of the computers on the network are wirelessly connected and can use the internet perfectly fine. If I look at the local connection status, the number of packets sent goes up to 2 and keeps resetting to 0. I'm sure I have the drivers installed correctly. I've tried the drivers that came with the mobo, the marvell drivers, the gigabyte drivers, older versions of the drivers... I've also tried recycling the modem and router, resetting them both, plugged the computer directly into the modem. I've tried disabling/enabling the LAN in the bios, reflashed the bios to the newest version. I've reformatted just about 6 times using the winxp pro x32 and x64 versions, which didn't solve the problem at all.
