I read up on it on some sites and it seems that it is quite common that the onboard LAN dies on this motherboard.

OS – vista64bit

situation – all 32bit application no access to net connection, only 64bit application works.

problem – 64bit machines having tcp/ip stack corruption

solution
1. Click on Start button.
2. Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.
3. Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt shell
4. Restart the computer.

From my experience a lot of problems of this type are from short circuits on backpanel where all ports are. Which most of the time is quite bad sign. At best it is solved by ignoring problematic port but often it gets worse and worse until motherboard fries.

Switching to external card is fine but being ready for further trouble is also good. :)

less common these days but a few years ago any good DSL ISP plan would include a free dial-up account. a few times when my DSL went down i reverted to modem (also on motherboard) to get online until DSL was fixed
