| 878352 | 2010-04-21 04:54:00 | So, when you right-click the Ethernet Controller in device manager, choose Update Driver, and tell it to go shove its automatic broken rubbish and do it manually, and point it to the folder, does it come back and say it couldn't find any suitable drivers, or some other message? | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 878353 | 2010-04-21 04:55:00 | What you can do is, connect another NIC, (install its drivers), put it online. Then double click on the onboard NIC, / drivers tab / update. Check for drivers online. See if it picks some up and installs them. That maybe the easier (or the only) way to install the drivers for it | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

Yeah it says something about no suitable hardware found (or something along those lines) and asks if I want to search over the internet for suitable hardware. You'll have to install teamviewer if you want me to check it out. And it'll have to be on the net. Hopefully (if onboard is enabled), putting the extra NIC in it, wont conflict with anything else I'd prefer using logmein since it's free (And comes with a free pro trial) and teamviewer is $749US. |

| 878356 | 2010-04-21 05:04:00 | Teamviewer is free (do you think I'll be paying $700, to use it? I dont think so). and always has been. You dont use the business version | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 878358 | 2010-04-21 05:07:00 | Sorry silly me, I didn't read that part! I had just used google and it came up with the buy now page. | deno240 (13664) | ||
| 878359 | 2010-04-27 06:54:00 | I got an ethernet adapter.... Stupid question for some, but where do I put it? I can't take out the LAN input and put it there.. This is what I got dragonpc.co.nz There are free slots available near the modem, would it be ok to put it there? And once done, how do I disable the onboard LAN? |

| 878360 | 2010-04-27 07:06:00 | You put it in a PCI slot if its a PCI card. Then install the drivers for it. Well you can leave the onboard enabled (you disable / enable it in the BIOS). Then I can see if I can get it to work. Once you install this other card | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 878361 | 2010-04-27 07:15:00 | how do I disable the onboard LAN? Go into the control Panel, network connections, right click the LAN connection, select Disable. Just a thought - check that its not already disabled, if it is thats one reason the drivers wont upgrade. |
