For those who don't know the story, I bought this motherboard from NewEgg as an open box item and when I finally got around to setting it up I found that the ethernet port didn't work. It was too late to return it to NE for exchange so I returned it to Gigabyte under warranty. I got the board back today and it seems that Gigabyte could find nothing wrong with the board and just returned it as it is.
The reason that Gigabyte could find nothing wrong with the board is b/c you can plug it into an ethernet cable and network preferences says it is working and you even get an IP address back from the DHCP server. Only problem is when you try to connect to a website, it won't connect and eventually will time out with a server not found error.
In any case, I have purchased this board http://bit.ly/iECIQE from NE in hopes I can finally get my mini ITX system up and running. I have also listed the GA-H55N-USB3 on the HQ-A B-S-T board in case any of you budding electronic techs out there would like to have a go at it.
