nVidia nForce Network Controller Cable Unplugged
Hello all, first time poster here. I'll get right to the problem.
I'm trying to connect my computer to the internet through Ethernet (ATT DSL) but having a bit of a problem.
When I try to install the software for the router, it says that it can't find the device (Router). Ok, now it's saying that my network cable is unplugged but it is. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver (Which is 73.0.6.0 4/30/09 and also the one that windows provides...forget which it is; it says 2008 I think as the year it was from) disable/reboot/enable. When I run diagnostics it says that I have a Driver/Hardware problem. nForce IS shown in Device Manager as working correctly. I've read that a driver from Vista may help. Could this be the case? I have a Vista Ultimate 64 disk; wishful thinking but is there a chance an nForce driver may be on there, and would I be able to use it for this purpose without having to install the whole OS?
I'm using an eMachine Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Also...I am typing this from a computer at the library. It will be hard for me to get a driver off the internet if I have to. ):
