They will be at the MBoard manuf. site...
Or if it's a laptop then the laptop's manuf. site.

Thank you Patio, i searched the motherboard manufactures website and downloaded the drivers and chipset for my motherboard Gigayte GA-G31M-ES2L, i ran the setup files and restarted the computer but it didn't work, there are still yellow marks in devise manager, i am quite sure it's the correct chipset, the graphics driver did update but not the ethernet controller and others. Could you please help me with the next step … thank you. JJ

What Windows version ? ?
-
Windows XP,
in Device Manager/Ethernet Controller/details it has this:
PCI VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_E001458&REV_02 4&3A0400F3&0&00E1
i downloaded what i thought to be the relative driver from Realtek but when i tried to install it i got the message:
Installer can't find Atheros AR81Family ethernet controller on your system.
Maybe i downloaded the wrong driver?

You should have DLoaded them from the MBoard manufacturers site...
I'd start over...DLoad and install the MBoard chipset driver 1st...then re-boot then install all other drivers.

It worked :-)
I had the wrong network driver, there were 2; Athros and Realtek, the Realtek worked. Took me a while to find it on the Gigabyte website. Then i reinstalled the wifi driver and now it works too.
thank you for your time and help :-)
