Thanks for that tip.

Well this has gotten stranger by the minute, after i had the realtek pci NIC in I had a crash when it rebooted windows would no longer install the driver for that card (that it had originally installed!) so I plugged it back into the motherboard nic and now it works!

I have no idea why

I am using Win7 x64 and being a beta could be the reason.
