My friend just got a computer second hand and the ethernet port does not work on it. In the device manager it shows that the drivers are not there.

All I know about it is it has a 9600GT nvidia graphics card. I also got this little bit from a aida32 scan. Is there anything I can do to find out? I'm hoping someone might know what type of motherboard chipset this computer has so I can download the drivers to bring to him. Thanks

It's a nvidia based board. Get everest @ www.lavalys.com for more info. Check to see if the onboard ethernet port is enabled in bios. There were lots of problems back in the day with nvidias onboard ethernet. Use the info from everest and download the appropriate driver from nvidia's site

If all else fails try a PCI Network Adapter.

Or you can use pc wizard. Or look on the MB .

Looks like it has a

Realtek RTL 8211B Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbps

One other way is to check the add/remove to see if drivers are listed there if not remove device from device manger and reboot .

One other thing I do on a preown is set the bios to preload safe defaults and then set the bios the way I want it.

Look at the board, there will be a name somewhere to let you know the board maker. in most cases you can also see the lan chip it self.
