My LAN connection wont show GIGABYTE z97p-d3

[smythington]

  Hello,

I have the gigabyte z97p-d3 and I cannot get my Ethernet connection to work. There is no adapter in the device manager(even when I view hidden devices), and when I plug the cable in it is not recognized. The lights do not turn on, it is completely oblivious. Done diagnostic tests and the ethernet port is not recognized. When I open network connects through the control panel, there is no icon that signals a LAN connection. It is possible that it was deleted a few years ago.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks

Have you checked that it is enabled in BIOS?
Look under the BIOS heading, Peripherals for OnBoard LAN and make sure that it is not set to disabled.
