Jose, I haven't had that particular problem.  Sounds like your sys is
similar to mine.  Especially with that particular built in LAN adapter.
Is your mobo a Gigabyte?  GA-8iHXP or similar?  You may need to update
your mobo LAN drivers.  I had to before using the LAN as a 'gameserver'
for some reason.

Doesn't sound like your vid or vid drivers.  This sounds like a comms
problem.
If it IS an 8iHXP mobo, then do you have *in the BIOS* IRQ mode set to
AT or APIC mode?
If AT, check in device manager for shared IRQ with the Realtek.  If in
APIC then make SURE you have the F4 bios running, or later.
