I recomend using a linksys ethernet card. I have one never have any problems with it. I've seen those Cnet cards and they look like junk.

Well THAT'll solve it eh?
Have a look in Device Manager, and delete any instances of the network adaptors (cards) you've tried to install. Also delete any rubbish under "Other Devices" - usually they'll have a yellow error marker against them. Reboot and try again. It's possible it's an IRQ problem, especially with older cards - if still no joy, come back here.
