Default Video Card

i just installed a new video card on my computer and now the internet doesnt work, i am completely clueless. I don't understand how a video card can do anything to the ethernet input on my motherboard. What does anybody think it is?

thank you

Check to make sure the ethernet cable is connected to LAN port. Maybe you accidentally, took it out, while installing the graphic card.

Or if its an actually NIC, maybe the contacts are loose.

okay, now i got the internet to work through connecting with a usb cable, but it goes soooo sloooooow, compared to ethernet. Do you guys think it is a software problem or a hardware problem for the ethernet driver?
