    Find the correct LAN drivers for your PC, uninstall the current driver in device manager (delete the drivers from system as well (should be an automatic prompt)). Restart and reinstall drivers.

      The manufactures website will have the drivers or on the CD that came with the hardware (you haven't stated whether it is an on-board LAN connection, expansion card or a laptop).

      If you need more help then just post up the LAN cards brand and model, motherboard brand and model (in the case of on-board) or the PC brand & model (in the case of a laptop or pre-built machine).

        Ok Gigabyte list 4 possible motherboards under that title: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/download-center.aspx?kw=ga-k8n51gmf

        For the moment I am making the assumption that you have the basic GA-K8N51GMF (rev. 1.0) model and that you are American:

        -Direct download link from Gigabyte-
        http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Driver/motherboard_driver_chipset_nvidia_c51.exe

        -Or you can select it manually-
        http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=1950&dl=1#driver

        However I strongly advise using System Information for Windows (SIW) or Crucial to check which motherboard you have.

          Ive run the crucial scan and downloaded the drivers for the mother board but ive still got the problem, sometimes it says tcp\ip error or tcp\ip enable.
          Im in England and downloaded the drivers from the european site.
          Its not the computer im on now its someone elses computer so dont have all the details thank you for your help jhadd

          Did you uninstall the drivers, restart and reinstall the drivers like I said in my first post?
