Make sure that you don't have a crossover cable between the computer and the
router. Don't use a homebuilt cable unless you have experience fabricating
CAT-5 patch cables, and the proper tools.

That is odd. Even if the adapter doesn't get a lease on an IP address, it
should show up there. Are you sure that there is a TCP/IP adapter for the
card? Look at the Network Properties; you should see a green PC icon
labeled, "Linksys LNE100TX PCI Adapter", or something similar. Below that
should be a "TCP/IP -> Linksys LNE100TX PCI Adapter" with a 'y' cable icon.
You should actually have one TCP/IP icon for each hardware adapter icon for
hardware which will have a network connection. Other protocols are optional.

Just make sure that you have a protocol linked to the card. If not, the
computer won't know that it is supposed to be connecting over the network.
