Do you have two network cards?
Does your Monitor have a network connection?

Can we have details of your hardware??

About details, can you be more specific please , im not very good at this, like can u give me instructions on where to go and what to screenshot, thank you

http://static.techguy.org/download/SysInfo.exe is what you were asked to run, although I've just realised it doesn't show network cards.

Right click on My Computer and select properties. That should show you the control panel and in there you can click on DEVICE MANAGER. That should show you all your physical devices including the network card(s).

I think your motherboard has a built in network connection and you have also added a separate network card, so you have two choices (I think).

You can plug into the motherboard and remove the extra card, or you can go into the BIOS set up and disable the motherboard network and use the added card.
