isn't really much to go on. What I was hoping for was something like what can be found here: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...#Network_Cards
The necessary info is what is included in the "device" and "manufacturer" columns... these are the most helpful bits of information.

If your LAN cable plugs directly into your motherboard, I'm going to need more info on the motherboard to help... all I can find from the information in your previous posts is that the motherboard is by PCCHIPS and includes the SiS761GX chipset. From this, I think this: http://www.shopping.com/xPF-PC-Chips...-V-L-mATX-A33G is your motherboard. Can you let me know if this is correct?

if it is, when you installed your system what network "fix" did you choose?

when you installed, you clicked on the Customize button correct?
What did you select under Network?

EDIT: its a wiki... why don't you add your own devices in? This list isn't complete nor has it been updated to show the full range of OS X versions. It does give people a good place to start to see what others have done to create a Hackintosh or to see how others made their systems work.

you can reinstall any of the network drivers from the DVD when you are already booted into your OS X system. with Finder in the menu press [shift]+[command]+[g] and it will bring up the Go To Folder box. Depending on your install disk, the name of your DVD volume will be different, I'm going to use the name "Mac OS X Install DVD" so you can see that spaces are retained in this box... just change the name to fit your install DVD. Now type in:
Code:
/Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/
and you'll see the Finder open this up. Now just navigate your way through the folders until you've found them. If you can't find anything matching your network, let me know... but I'd rather not go down the EFI string path right now unless we know we can't fix it any other way.

EDIT: hey man, we are all just trying to help. cut us a little slack. We aren't the one with access to the computer so we can't just know the answers. OS X isn't that cut and dry... it takes time to figure out how to make it work on some systems. Time and Patience.

EDIT #2: according to newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813185083 you've got a "Broadcom AC131 PHY" built-in LAN. I'll do some more searching but I don't think this is on the disk.

EDIT #3: Last one for the day... (unless you've got more questions)... found this while searching around for the Broadcom AC131 PHY.... The first post I found helpful for you was:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.p...dcom+AC131+PHY
which leads to:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.p...4&hl=forcedeth
Look through the broadcom section. Should work fine.

the key with the windows symbol on it on a windows keyboard is the command key for apple's boards. the logic circuit points to the same key.

well the network is found by going through "System Preferences" from either the dock or the apple menu drop-down. then configure using DHCP if you use a high-speed connection. They normally set it up so it can be done that way... but first we need to make sure you have a device listed on the left...

we can always try to figure out what your network devID is so we can just plug that in to a forcedeth.kext .plist file and try to force it to work.

I'll help ya do that if nothing else works first.
