Title: Installing Device Drivers
Post by: jester333 on July 28, 2004, 07:19:56 PM

Hello all,

My brother was having problems with his computer and had the harddrive wiped clean.  Upon reinstalling Windows 98 and other software he found he was unable to get on to the internet.  After checking the Device Manager I found that the drivers are missing for the ethernet.  This particular computer has no cards installed on the motherboard whatsoever.  So how do I go about finding the drivers for this device? ???

Pleeeeease Help.

Rob

jester333.....So the ethernet is on board. When you look at the device manager....doesnt it tell you what kind of ethernet adapter is there .......Then go to .......

( you will have to use another p/c to do this as you cant get online with yours).

Good Luck

I suggest you find the name of the mainboard its manufacturer and download the mainboard/onboard periphal drivers from them.
