Hi
This morning when i turned my pc on, there was a missing network connection.
it is an onboard lan device allowing my client pc to connect to host and then
internet.
ive tried the following to make window realise that there is a evice there:
1:repair all network connections, run network setup wizard
2:check cables and see back for LAN device activity (blinking lights etc).I
see activity suggesting that the lan device isworking.
3: search for the hardware using the hardware manager, and add hardware wizard
4:check for enable lan device in bios.
5: reinstalling LAN device driver.
6:system restore
7:trying another device to connect to from the LAN device that is not
detected ie router.
8:re installing windows and motherboard drivers.
9: thinking about purchasing pci lan device....
there must be some way i can get windows to remember that there is actually
a lan device and it is switched on and it is connected to another computer.
all of the trouble shooters do not solve problems where windows xp thinks
there is not hardware but there is.
If ive missed anything to try...please ell me im at a complete loss and
there is no support anywhere on the gigabyte mother boards site that
helps...thanks for reading. any advice would be a relief
thanks so much
