are all cable modems external?
Well, I just now solved my own problem. The answer was so simple it's
almost scarey. I haven't even read your recommendations all of the way
through, yet. WINDOWS UPDATE!
It was originally recommended that I download all of the most
up-to-date software, drivers, etc. for my model computer from the
Shuttle website. That should solve everything, right! Wrong! Just
out of curiosity, I checked Windows for updates. What do you know,
there was suddenly one available that had not appeared before -
"Realtek Semiconductor Corp. - Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast
Ethernet NIC." Lo and behold, once installed, my ethernet connection
works! I'm using it right now!
Lesson in life - if you want the best computer that you can possibly
have, learn how to build it yourself, and get all of the instructions
and installation CDs that should come with it. Well, and then always
check for Windows updates. :-) Isn't it funny how we look past the
obvious so easily...
