Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

Click on the link, click on the download link mid way down the page (top one of the 2), agree to the license, click on the link on the following page (they like their links) to confirm you want the file and to actually start the download. Save the exe file to a USB stick or to something you can take to the pc that's not working. Once you have the file saved you can then move it to the other pc and run it.
Or to save a headache for all concerned

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

I downloaded the link and saved it to flashdrive. I then took the flashdrive to the computer then doubled clicked it. I followed the wizard installation and then restarted the computer. When I switched the computer on, the internet still didn't work and the ethernet controller still not detected. Is there something i'm doing wrong or was it the wrong driver download you gave me. Just a reminder, my chipset is an Intel 845GE. Thanks any help appreciated =)

Looks like bandwidth issues, right, according to you this is your mobo:

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

just because its got an intel chipset does not mean the drivers are intel. My Mobo has a P45 chipset yet the ethernet drivers are marvel yukon.

The information you gave us about your motherboard is far to sketchy we need a proper motherboard model number.

@op please think twice before taking anyone elses machine on :)

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

I had a look inside the machine and the ethernet driver says somthing like s tech or 5 tech im not quite sure.

yes its was originally taken out of the emachines 5220 case and placed into a coolmaster case. I will now try this link and get back to you.

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

is there not a model number on the board?

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

The best bet would have been finding out the motherboard model number or actually telling us the original model of Emachine ;)

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

Is it definitely a driver issue, or just misconfigured in Windows?

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

Well theres a yellow exclamation mark where it says ethernet controller in device manager.

Re: how do i install my ethernet controller?
 

Yep I think this is the one, however, now that have I have windows Vista Ultimate installed, how can I install the drivers when it doesn't say that it supports vista?

I installed it with Vista Ultimate (32-bit) - Is there an Vista supported version or will it still be ok?
