The GA-7ZXE m/b appears to have a bad function on the PCI slots which will not permit Ethernet connections. All external connections and cards have been checked on other computers. Linksys LNE100TX(v5)Driver has been reloaded from two different disks. Did I miss something or do I have a bad motherboard?

you might miss something, but we are not fortune-teller so if you dont give some more info we will never know!
my first guess is a irq conflict, did you try different pci-slots/check for conflicts (msinfo32.exe)?
what os is running?
you say it wont permit ethernet connections, so can you ping lokal loopback (127.0.0.1)?
ipconfig /all?

Thank you for replies. I have been busy with other issues also. To answer your questions.
1. IRQ conflicts: None, only the USB port has 3 irq-09.
2. Try different slots: 1, 3, and last were tried.
3. Check msinfo32.exe: No conflicts
4. OS running: Win 2000, SP1.
5. Ping 127.0.0.1:Sent=4,Rec=4,Lost=0,other pings=100%loss.
6. Use ipconfig /all: IP Address..0.0.0.0; Subnot..0.0.0.0
Default Gatway...blank
7. Cards: NVidia Riva TNT2 & HCF56K PCI Modem
8. BIOS default: completed with no change.
Looks like I need more help.

Hi Wolden,
This motherboard (gigabyte ga-7zxe)is used in an Italian made door-making machine (The name on the enclosure is "Ferrari"....go figure!)that I have been working on for 3 months. It has an intermittent boot-up problem and I have decided to replace the motherboard. However, when it WAS working, it accepted a DFE-530TX ethernet card with no problems on the WIN98 SE system using the supplied software. The prognosis on the MB was temperatue extremes affected some of the memory slot's connectivity and/or a stray cold solder joint or other. I have a linksys card on my desk that would not work with emachines, acer, IBM, and a few others right out of the box. For 15 dollars buy a different card and try it. IMHO of course.
