Im getting the following message after reformatting my computer the network adapter "realtek rtl8168/8111 family pci-e gigabit ethernet nic (ndis 6.0)" is experiencing driver or hardware related issues..... and I cant get on the net. Can you help? :-)

The driver should be on the motherboard disc or the one supplied by your ISP internet service supplier
make very sure all leads are plugged into their specific connection plugs you might have to connect the usb lead to your modem to get a connection then
click start control panel,administrive tools,computer management,device manager scroll to network adapters could see a yellow question mark? right click install drivers
hope this helps if you cant find the driver hopefully one of these will help you

Hi there,

If you are able to get on the Internet, you'll want to download the latest drivers. (See below). If you can't get on the Internet, you'll need to find a computer that can, then download the drivers to a disc or small flash drive.
