Thanks Tom. I didn't think that might be the case since other networking aspects are working.
It's an onboard NIC. If I buy a NIC card, does it override the onboard?

David;
I would try going into device manger and disabling the onboard nic there. That should allow windows to to use the PCI NIC as the default connection.

Since it is onboard their may also be a BIOS option to disable it. Even if you can't, Windows supports multiple NICs and nothing will be plugged into the onboard NIC.

@covad.net		 I found this NIC test online -- "Ping -t 127.0.0.1 " -- and ran it for a few pages with no errors. Do you think that's an indication the NIC is OK?

That does not test the NIC, that is a local loopback, it never touches and network cards; just looped back in the stack via software.
