LAN DRIVER
Here's my post from another thread...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have had this problem with my SysteMax Ascent as well. Not sure if
you re-installed your OS or not, but the same will still apply. What is
happening is that your OS (assuming Windows) is not recognizing the
onboard LAN adaptor, even with it's native drivers, so the driver must
be downloaded and installed. But first..
What you will need to do is open up your PC and look on your
Motherboard for (what will likely be) a Letter-Number combination that
will be large in size. Mine was M7NCD, yours may be different. If yours
happens to be M7NCD, then your Motherboard is manufactured by BioStar,
and here is their webpage with the download that you will need:
http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdownloads.asp?model=M7NCD%20PRO
It is located under Drivers, and be sure to check to the right of the
download link to find which one will be compatible with your Operating
System (OS).
If it is different, enter what you see into your favorite search
engine, followed by 'drivers'. You should be able to find what you're
looking for in the first few results. If not, just keep checking, and
if needed, use different words in your search (like lan driver,
chipset). A manufacture's website is usually the best result.
Once found, check for compatible OS and install. Your LAN adaptor should work now.
Also, for good measure, check in Device Manager (Start>Right-click
properties>Hardware tab>Device Manager) for any exclamation
points (black ! in a yellow circle) under Network Adaptors. If there
are none, then it worked! If you do see any in a different category
(Sound, video, game controllers for example), look on the webpage for
any drivers for that category. After I re-installed drivers for the LAN
adaptor, I also had to re-install drivers for the onboard sound card as
well.
Anyway, hope this helps you! It should, I had the exact same problem :D
