  1. A host of updates came through and now my ethernet and print drivers are not working


    I had 97 updates come through today on my Dell XPS8900 and when all done, I no longer have ethernet connection working. Additionally my printer driver for my laser engraving machine isn't working. I tried to reinstall the ethernet driver, without any change. I changed out my ethernet cable and my USB (with ethernet converter) cable which is hooked to my router. Neither are working. Help!

    :)

    New build, all works but ethernet

    Go to the asus web site and look up your motherboard model. Then go to drivers and download your ethernet driver

  3. Ethernet Driver is not working on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for the reply and update.

    If you have not yet tried this then I suggest you to follow this step to test if that helps.

    Follow these steps.


    • Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.

    • In the list of devices, you should see the Network Adaptor.

    • Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".

    • In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.

    In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the default device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Keep us informed to help you further.

    Ethernet Driver Non Existant?

    Hi all,

    I'm doing a re-install of a friends laptop after it came down with some nasty viruses. The only thing that I am having issues with is the ethernet driver. The wireless has installed and is an intel unit. But the LAN driver is Broadcom, and the Acer website & Broadcom Website list a download that contains 3 files:

    They are all called b57win32, but they are all different filetypes, one is a system file, the other a 'security catalogue' and the other a setup information file. There's no EXE of any kinda [this is what I want - I have no idea otherwise on how to instal the files?'

    I've also tried is using the add new hardware wizard - this has resulted in failure as there is nothing on windows update if I turn the wireless on, and for some reason it doesn't like the driver that I have downloaded. Finally, I've tried right clicking on the Setup Information File and clicking install, and I've had no Joy with that either. I've got to be doing something wrong - Most confused!

    Can anyone sort me out with a step-by-step guide of what to do, I feel a bit silly asking - But I haven't used a Windows PC in about 3 years. *Frown A host of updates came through and now my ethernet and print drivers are not working :(

    The machine is an Acer Aspire 5633WLMi Laptop with the 1.6 T5500 C2D, and I'm running Windows XP.

    Thanks

    Edd
