Verify that all network drivers are installed.
To open device manager: start > run > devmgmt.msc

If there are any !, ?, or X
in the list then you need to update/reinstall the drivers or enable the device.

Ok i found what you said and there is a problem with the Ethernet controller. When i try to update it it says that the correct driver cant be found and i have to connect to the internet. By the way its a Toshiba Satellite laptop P35-S6053

OK, so you need to research and find the driver for your laptop.

bbags0129 · 06-25-2009, 12:24 PM

Out of the list of drivers it gave me to select from. None match what i need for the Ethernet Controller

This model is supplied with one of 3 different wireless cards (Atheros, Broadcom, or Intel)
Please let us know which one you have.

If you don't know, go to Device Manager, right click on the wireless card, select Properties, then select Details. In that window, select Hardware ID in the dropdown box, then copy down the 4 characters after the VEN_ and the 4 characters after the DEV_ and let us know.

**lorjack** · 06-25-2009, 03:59 PM

Is it from the Toshiba site?

usasma · 06-25-2009, 04:46 PM

If it's VEN_14e4 - then it's a Broadcom card.
So download this driver (direct download link): http://global-download.acer.com/GDFi...&LC=en&SC=PA_6

I got it from this page: http://us.acer.com/acer-v2/service.d...CRC=2054404012

bbags0129 · 06-25-2009, 06:06 PM

No its from the set up disc. I was wondering... would it work if i set my laptop up to a wired connection then downloaded the drivers i need to set up the wireless?

convict0 · 06-25-2009, 06:46 PM
