I'm not sure why Angry hasnt posted this here, but the problem with the onboard lan on LPB and UI boards has been found.
Apparently the MAC address for the controller was corrupt before you even received the board. The good news is, there is no need for an RMA, and the fix is quite simple.
On both boards there is a sticker on the AGP slot which contains the correct MAC address for your controller. All you have to do, is manually enter this MAC into your bios. It is located right under the option in bios to enable onboard NIC.
On the LPB model, you will have 2 MAC addresses for each onboard NIC controller. You can use trial and error if youre not sure which one is for the nvidia NIC.
Reboot, and your done! If you flash your bios a lot, and dont want to manually set it each time, you can also set it in windows.
