No driver for my Ethernet card
My situation is as such: I have just formatted my computer, got Windows XP with the right security key. The system runs good. But when I want to connect to the internet, I notice my Ethernet slot which is on board on the motherboard is not installed. The driver is not available to me on CD. It was lost long time back.
I have tried the install automatically from the Hardware installation dialog box with option “Yes, connect to the Internet” but I guess the issue stays same since the connection cannot be established. Obviously, the essential chip for modem communication to the web is not installed; nothing will be able to have it connect to the net, not even Windows. Also what is the most striking is that Windows XP does not have the driver to install the device automatically!
I looked into the list of devices but could not find a matching one for the Ethernet card. Also no onboard device drivers were available.
The Ethernet slot where I connect the internet cable reads Gigabit. But since I have no internet connection at home, I cannot get the net to look for the correct driver.
I am looking for a good advice on how to achieve getting the correct driver to my place and where to get the correct driver?
