Is this correct, as in the USB connection the latter 3 were all listed with the connections?
The Nic card is fine, I went into system and device manager and also checked network connections, which says connected but in there to, there is no DNS, DHCP or gateway listed?
any other Ideas ?

let me guess... the ip on the nic was starting 169.254??
Try the following: reboot everything and connect the NIC then check the ip again. If it is 169, remove the coaxial cable from the modem. Then type ipconfig /release and then ipconfig /renew and see if it picks up an ip. It should get 192.168.100.3 or 192.168.100.10. If it does, reconnect the coax, reboot the modem and try releasing and renewing the ip again.
Report back what happens
