I just got my new pc up and running (on first boot, couldn't believe it):

Intel E6400
Gigabyte DS3
Corsair XMS2 6400C5
X1800XT
Tagan Easycon 530w
etc

How do I enable the onboard LAN rather than using my network card out of my current pc?
 
Google search the drivers...

They are something like - Marvel 8053 Gigabit LAN Controller, should be with the motherboard CD ... or ON the motherboard CD

Make sure you go into Network Places and enable it there as well...
 
The network is enabled now, when I open an internet page it cannot be displayed, it says at the bottom corner something about detecting a proxy connection something or other. Do I now use the cd that came with my broadband service to install the internent now? It doesn't help that I can't find the damn thing.
 
open up command prompt (start - run - cmd)
then type in ipconfig /all

and post the output on there

also you might want to try opening up internet explorer then go to tool, internet options, connections, then LAN settings, and make sure that then only thing checked is 'automatically detect settings'

I've just tried that ipconfig /all thing on my current pc, it's a DOS window that disappears real quick. Is it supposed to post something to a folder?

you have to go into command prompt first by going to run then type in cmd, then do ipconfig /all in command prompt

Right ok, im in there, but it says:

IPCONFIG is not recognised as an internal or extrenal command, operable program or batch file.

This is on my current pc, not my new one. So should I switch over to that now?

Right, by the sounds of 'Detecting proxy settings', you first need to go into internet explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings > Remove the tick from the 'Use proxy server...' box and OK all windows then close IE. Then you need to go into network connections via control panel, double click the Local Area Network connection icon, then hit properties. Next highlight 'Internet Protocol' and click properties.

Now look at the output reading of IPCONFIG on your old machine and give your new machine the next address- for example if you old machine has 192.168.1.10, give your new machine 192.168.1.11, leave your subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and set the gateway to your routers IP address. Oh yeah, set your DNS servers to match those on your old machine and you should be done :)
 
Yes because we need to know the following bit
