Hi, I've recently built a new PC with the i5-6600K and GA-Z170XP-SLI motherboard. I've installed Windows 10 using USB as I didn't install an optical drive, and everything works fine apart from my internet. I installed the LAN drivers (Intel version 10.2) that were posted on Gigabyte's driver page for my motherboard, but it didn't fix my problem. In Network Connections it displays Ethernet "Network Cable Unplugged". The ethernet is named Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V. In BIOS, in the Peripherals section it shows the Ethernet device, and shows that "Link Status" is disconnected. If anybody could help me fix this problem that would be much appreciated. Thanks
