looks like your network adaptor is not only working already but also has an ip address of 192.168.0.116

hm... is it possible that it is working but not working to its full capacity? I was using it to try to transfer but was getting only 8MB/s transfer rate to this computer....

I know the HDD should be a limiting factor but I thought that 8MB/S is slow for a gigabit connection...

other motherboard is DFI P45-t2rs all hooked up with Cat5e cable and going through a netgear GS108 gigabit switch... drivers have been updated on the DFI P45 board so all I could think off was this motherboard needed a driver....

any idea what could be causing the problem? or is it possible its not Linux related?

theres lots of factors that determin the speed of file transfers. how fast the computers are, the speed of the hard disks, the type of cable used, even the protocol of the file transfer. for example samba is a lot slower than ftp file transfers.
