As the title says.

I plug my ethernet cable in and then nothing happens. I trouble shooted and got the message:
Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver.

I have a z97 gaming 5 gigabyte motherboard with an ethernet port. ......
I tried to fix it by downloading from intel website PROwinx64 to download drivers but it came up with error saying no network adapter found

all help appreciated,

thanks.
