Re: win update realtek driver killed my ethernet?
Just got through reinstalling Vista Ultimate 64 on my Gigabyte MA-GA790GP-DS4 because my onboard NIC died after applying all the recommended Windows updates.
It could see the two computers connected to the same switch, but couldn't see anything connected through the router Went through heck playing with dynamic and static addresses, deleting and reinstalling drivers, changing subnets, and swearing. Nothing worked.
Glad to know its Microsoft and not the new mobo going bad. Re-applied the updates EXCEPT the Realtek RTL8168B/8111B optional update and things are fine...
Beware.
