go to control panel and select SYSTEM then select DEVICE MANAGER then scroll down to Network Adapters and double click it to open a list of all your cards connected and click on the one you want and it will say if it's working or not (Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller) on mine usally it will have a yellow Exclamation point ! if something is wrong with a device
Hi,
All the network cards in my device manager are displayed correctly without any exclamation marks. I tried disabling it and again enabled it, but still the LED's are not glowing.

Is it perhaps deactivated? From the BIOS?
On my HP i can deactivate my LAN to save power.
Have you already used it?
Are you connecting to switch? Try to use a normal straight patch cable an a switch. The switch LED's should lit up.
Try it and report.
Hi,
I have used it earlier to connect to internet with the Ethernet cable and was working fine. A year ago i started using USB modem to connect to internet. Now when i try to network my laptop with an other one using an Ethernet cable, the LED's r not glowing. I haven't changed any BIOS settings by myself, will it get changed automatically?, let me check it & will get back to u.
