Unidentified Network Issue

I've tried the Nvidia drivers as well.

I just went out and bought another netgear NIC and it worked properly.

Both of the unknown devices are audio drivers, one is onboard and the other is a PCI one.

I disabled one of the NICs so it wouldn't create any extra problems.

Hi Aaren - I would suggest checking out the Compatibility Center: Windows Compatibility Center. Also, this resource may help to troubleshoot the issue: Why can?t I connect to the Internet?.

Hope this helps!
