Have you tried the add new hardware wizard in control panel, after it has done the search you can then select the device to add. Try that and see if it works

In Device Manager, does it show you an installed network card in Network Adapters? Does the device have an yellow warning icon?
You may need the drivers for your particular card, and they may be on a CD.
If you delete the card in Device Manager, then reboot, Windows should search for the appropriate driver - browse to the CD where they are.
Once you have this up and running, don't forget to update with SP2 and all updates after that.

Try taking the network card physically out of its slot in the PC, then reinserting it.
If necessary, try in different slot.

You can't go wrong really. The card is in a slot, it's the card that has the ethernet cable socket on it.
Pull it out carefully, re-seat it. Reboot and see if it's working.
It's possible that the card has stopped working by a strange coincidence. A replacement card won't be too expensive if you decide to change it.

so i went in to go pull out the card to try and reset it manly
only on closer inspection i realized there is no card
it seems to be attached to a bunch of usb ports and the mouse plug area i know even less of hard ware than i do of software soo yea i think the big green board that every thing is attached to is the motherboard any way it seems like the Ethernet cord plugs almost directly in to the motherboard there is a small 1''x1.5''x.5'' silver box right where the cord plugs into and there doesn’t seem to be any easy way to detach it
but there is something there, so says pc wizard
just some more info

OK then it is an onboard card. So you can not reseat it.
Download and install the lates drivers from here .. Ensure you get the right one
