I am working on a PC for someone, it's an Abit IC7-G motherboard with a built in Intel Pro 1000 giganet card.


He said it was working fine till he put in a router, but the router didn't work. (He didn't log into the BIOS of the router to put in the DSL username and password) He spent half the day unpluging and pluging in the Router.

He then tried to install all the software for the DSL modem and go on line via the USB port. I think he may have tried to connect the USB and the Ethernet cord at the same time.


Either way, I explained to him how to get the router working, by now his ethernet card doesn't work. I netmeeting connected to him and tried to remove the driver. I installed the driver off the CD, newest from ABIT, and the generic from Intel. They all say CODE 10. I can't check out IRQ's cause I am connected remotley, but I am going in person soon. I don't think that on-board lan has an option to change IRQ's on that board. Is it possible to fry the port from fiddling with the router and DSL modem so much?


I'm at my wits end, and I don't want to install from scratch. Any ideas?
