878322 2010-04-20 04:36:00 Wondering if someone can help me out, I've been trying to download the realtek rtl8211bl ethernet drier but not having any luck. I downloaded a driver from x-drivers (www.x-drivers.com) I unzipped it and clicked on Ethernet, it comes up with all these icons - i44.tinypic.com so I clicked on the exe file and this is what came up (i40.tinypic.com)

I've spent hours trying to look for the driver but it's no good. On the gigabyte website (Motherboard brand, looked up model number) and it says I need
"realtek rtl8211bl gigabit ethernet controller driver"

Thanks to anyone who can help!!

878323 2010-04-20 04:39:00 So theyre not on the GB site? I would be careful where you download drivers from. Try going to device manager double click on the LAN entry / driver tab / update drivers. Point it to that folder you posted. If it finds the main file it'll load the drivers Speedy Gonzales (78)

878325 2010-04-20 04:47:00 Did you click on the right where it says driver on the GB site?? Theyre Here if XP is installed (www.gigabyte.com.tw). The chipset / LAN Speedy Gonzales (78)
878326 2010-04-20 04:47:00 I did that as well but didn't work, it said something like it can't find it and to connect to the internet to search. I've hunted around the gigabyte website, I downloaded the chipset drivers but it didn't include the ethernet drivers. deno240 (13664)
878327 2010-04-20 04:50:00 All links work here now Speedy Gonzales (78)
878328 2010-04-20 04:58:00 I installed the setup.exe file, restarted computer and ethernet still not going. I clicked the ethernet folder and it has exactly the same contents as the other one I had downloaded. deno240 (13664)
878329 2010-04-20 05:03:00 And did you go to update driver and point it to the folder? What does it say in device manager (after you installed the drivers and rebooted)? Speedy Gonzales (78)
878330 2010-04-20 05:06:00 Tried that and it says it is recommended that you connect to the internet so that the wizard can search online.. deno240 (13664)
878331 2010-04-20 05:09:00 Device manager has Other devices, Ethernet Controller with an exclamation mark beside it, Have restarted computer but still the same and can't find the new software deno240 (13664)
