You can drop in a new Lan card if you want, but I would run the "repair" option on your current one first..........

Go into Network Connections and find your Lan connection, right-click on it and hit "repair", then test it again.

no luck tried all the things, this is inbuilt lan card which is perminently attach on the board. so if i bought new lan card and attach on one slot, is ther any conflict problem. I mean in one computer we can connect two lan cards with out any problem.

thanks

You might have interrupt conflicts . If that occurs you would simply disable the onboard adapter in device manager.

Since your current card is dead, you will only be useing one card at a time so there should be no conflict, but as Stan said if you have issues just disable the old one.
