ok will they update offline as thewre is no internet on that pc

BCCOMP

It will if the driver was already installed on the computer.
If that does not work, please supply the specs of your PC.
Thanks,
Bill

hey thanks for the reply ive had the pc for about 2 year and dont have the sheet i got with the specs listed i know there is a way to bring them up just not sure how to do that. it used to work fine till one day it all went haywire and i had no choice but to reinstall the windows xp. when i done this i could not connect via the ethernet cable which worked befor. which i have recently learnt is the ethernet controller whats missing (shows yellow ? next to it on the device manager)

if this helps i have put an old netgear wireless adaptor in and installed correct driver/sotware and that connects to the home hub but will not recive packet although it sends them
i am gratefull for your patients and time taken to help me.
im about to throw the dam thing out thew window soon lol

ps im on the downstairs pc which is wireless

BCCOMP

Can you tell us the make and model of the PC? If not run Everest (Below my signature). and post the results.
Do you want to hardwire the PC to the net or use the wireless card?
Thanks,
Bill

drew16387

im wanting to hardwire it if possible. the everest link brought a registry mechanic up which has loads of results i cannot copy and paste them do i printscrenn them all. im on the dowstairs pc as its the only one with internet but it is exactly the same pc as i bought two at the same time

Hi,
If you have an exact duplicate of this machine. Go to the device manager and under network controllers post what you see.
Is this a Dell, Gateway, Hp (or similar) and if so post the model number. If this PC is a major manufacture there should be some kind of marking on it to tell us what it is.
Thanks,
Bill

drew16387

ahh downloaded wrong thing sorry on doing correct one now lol

BCCOMP

OK,
Besure to uninstall the registry mechanic.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,
Try this driver for your LAN:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethe...ic/netlink.php
You will have to download it off your working PC to CD or flash drive and extract the files. Then reinstall the driver through the device manager on the non-working PC directing it to where you have the driver.

Thanks,
Bill

drew16387

thanks mate youve been a great help i will do it now and let you know the outcome.

so download to cd go to the device manager then ethernet controller then update using cd yeah.

thanks once again

BCCOMP

Let me know.
Be sure to extract the driver to a folder and then burn the folder to CD.
Thanks,
Bill

drew16387

BCCOMP

It could be the driver?
If your downstairs PC is exactly the same you may be able to tell me the details of that driver.
Go to device manager>right click on the network controller>properties> driver tab
What version do you have on that PC?
Thanks,
Bill

drew16387
