First off, I didn't know there was such a thing and just wanted to confirm if it was true. So the simple fact I upgraded means I have zero internet. I've tried everything.

New Cat5e cable, isolating the router by wiring directly to the cable box, updating my BIOS/motherboard, resetting my cable/router multiple times, restarting PC multiple times, reseating the NIC card, updating my NIC card's drivers, all sorts of Network Connection tweaks, pinging Google, dos ipconfig / tricks, nothing. The Internet works on all PC's on the network except my Win 7. Literally the card doesn't do anything. Hardware recognition software, like Everest, recognizes it in the system and the NIC card's light shows it is powered on, yet it fails to get picked up by my Win 7.

Win 7 insists I don't have it plugged in correctly, but that's absolutely untrue. So I just need a confirmation if I need a new NIC card or not. I assume this would suffice, as it says 'Win7 32/64bit Realtek supported drive' in the drivers column: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N6002&cm_sp=Cat_Wired_Networking-_-Weekly_Deals-_-33-166-002.
