Some NICs use manufacturer supplied drivers and software, like their own "control center", others are more Microsoft friendly (i.e. plug-n-play) for specific operating systems.
Is the NIC integrated into the motherboard, or installed in a PCI slot?
Who's the manufacturer? And what model?
Sometimes all you have to do is reboot and log back in and the problem is gone. Have you tried rebooting?
