Buy another network adapter, if you have a PCI slot available.
It sounds like the integated adapter went TU. A PCI ethernet card is about $15 bucks.

I was given a USB Ethernet adapter (looks like a USB Wi-Fi adapter). I thought, "Who would want something like this?" and almost turned it down. It has been a godsend!

I've used it three times already on repairs or on new machine setups where, just like in Babu's case, the NIC isn't recognized.

I wonder what they cost?!
