(Custom built PC that worked great for 2+ yrs but had to wipe and rebuild)
After clean install of WXP Home lost built-in Ethernet support... network now defaults to IEE 1394 when cable is connected. I guess I just need to locate the ethernet driver and install but need alittle help since what I downloaded from giga-byte isn't working ...yet.
Giga-Byte GA-K8NF-9 (nForce4-4x chipset) (not sure if Rev 1 or 2)

Went to http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support [...] uctID=1860 , downloaded under the LAN listing: "NVIDIA CK804 Lan Driver" (2 rev's of this MO, I downloaded Rev1
It's a .exe file that states Package from the Web Stub. Is this what I need and how do I install since I tried to under the Found New hardware Wizard and couldn't get it to install? Of course the wizard kicks in for each listed below so which one would I link to, if this is the way?

Side note: Under Device Manager. I have these yellow "?"'s:
Multimedia Audio Controller
Other PCI Bridge Device
PCI Memory Controller
PCI Simple Communications Controller
SM Bus Controller
Unknown Device
Video Controller (VGA Component)

TIA, Ken

After downloading the drivers installation file, did you execute it?

I tried, but got the message "This program is used internally by PackageFromTheWeb. It should not be executed directly."

Why not go to NVidia to get the most recent drivers?

Reply to GhislainG

Don't use this one. I had the same issues and went for the Chipset drivers instead. (http://europe.giga-byte.com/FileList/Driver/motherboard_driver_chipset_nvidia_ck804_2kxp.exe)

This self extracts successfully and includes the LAN drivers.

So much easier!

Hve fun
Jonathan.
