[a_tif]

well this is kinda shocking

Till friday morning my onboard LAN was working normally
But from friday afternoon windows is not detecting it at all

i checked BIOS , drivers , installed latest drivers from the net but in vain

its not there in device manager , no problem devices either

Enable View Hidden Devices in Device Manager and see if you can detect any problems.

Check if the relevant services are enabled in Admin. tools.

Please check properly that the hardware is still working or not.

Can you post what all devices are there under Hidden devices concerning LAN?

Woops! Thats only the Realtek packet scheduler. It means that the network adaptor is not getting detected. Check the BIOS again. If its not disabled then there surely is some hardware problem. It doesn't show as a problem device either.
