Toon_Army_Fan Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hello I have a PC that I never really use and I turned it on a few days ago and it would not connect to the internet. I was trying to connect through an Ethernet cable but this was not working. I had an old netgear wireless adaptor lying around so I installed that and the wireless connection works perfectly. I tried to Google the problem but everything that was suggested has not worked. I was told to check the device manager and when I did the Ethernet controller has a yellow triangle at it. One website suggested that I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it from the manufactures website. I did this but I cannot find the driver now. I am totally lost now and was wondering if someone on here would know or perhaps have had this issue before. I was not sure what information might be needed for you to know what I was talking about but I will post what is needed. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
