Yeah, what OS are we talking about here, and how new is the NIC? If the OS is not finding the NIC, and you do not have the drivers on disk, it's time to crack open the box and pull it out to check for the Manufacturer and model information - especially if the NIC is not being found. If this is the case, winipcfg won't do jack sh1t for you (pardon my French). You have to get the NIC loaded in order to bind the TCP/IP stack to it for network connectivity. I hope this helps.
