After Installing 64-bit Cant connect to router

[Jamieleemiller]

So im fairly useless with computer, so i thought i would try find some people who know what there doing to help

So i had 32-Bit installed and i got told 78LMTthat because my pc has 8g RAM 64 bit would be better seeing as RAM is being wasted, so i installed 64-bit and all was going good up until i tryed connecting to a network, it just does not find anything its as if my router just does not exist anymore, the ethernet cable is still plugged in and nothing else has changed.

After a full day of just looking at my pc hoping it would magically work again, i installed some drivers which came with the pc and it managed to get me to connect to 'Local area connection' but still no sign of anything else.

As i said im fairly useless when it comes to this stuff some hopefully someone can aid me.

PC MODEL; GA-78LMT-S2P

Not seeing any missing drivers . When you try to open up a browser what error message do you get ? The icon on the sys tray ( near the time ) shows it is connected . From the Computer to the router is the Ethernet cable plugged into the first Ethernet port on the router ?

Yeah it just says 'no internet access' and instead of my router name it says 'Local Area Connection'

It didn't seem to work, Thanks for the help though, means alot this is just really confusing me, how it went from being perfect to not working

When you were installing Windows 7 x64-bit did you have the Ethernet cable plugged into the PC ? Also how did you install Windows 7

 

[Jamieleemiller]

just seems that i have nothing at all on computer Driver wise, i didn't have a backup disc,i totally wiped it so do u know how i can fix this? and yes i did it with the Ethernet cable in and i just tapped f8 will the the computer was booting up and it booted by the disc

 

[VistaKing]

Did you turn off the router and modem and turn it back on after 10 seconds

 

[Jamieleemiller]

Yeah, I installed my 'Atheros AR81Family PCI-E GigaBit/Fast Ethernet Controller Driver' again but im still only connected to 'Public network' or 'Local Area Connection' And when i try to connect to my router it just has no options as if my ethernet port is broke or something, which i highly doubt as i have not moved the pc at all its just been cds.

totally lost, Cheers for the help though
