any suggestion ...

Check Device Manager to see if you have an error icon next to network adapter. You may need an updated driver for it.

Done that and yes ther is a yellow error icon ... Font the driver updates both Microsoft and manufacuor driver but says all up to date ...

Your motherboard / system will likely have an individual driver required for the network adapter. You will need to source this from the manufacturer's website.

Under special circumstances you may need a particular version of the driver.

Motherboard or network card manufacture ?

The network card manufacturer.

Cheers for that I will try it ...
