Hey guys,
Ok this is getting to be a big problem now...
My computer is very slow on wireless so I plugged in and ethernet cable... However it isnt being recognised.... I went to drivers and it says my ethernet controller isn't installed.
After searching for very long I found a forum where someone seemed to have the same problem. They were told to download a program called EVEREST.
I downloaded this program however I now have no idea what to do with it. Noone is answering me on that forum so I have come here for a release from the stress!
Please help if you think you can guys and gals
Appreciated,
Cal

Everest is a program that shows all the components that make up your machine including the video card, audio, motherboard, what memory you have installed, in fact just about everything you need to know about your computer.
When you first bring up the program look down the left hand column then click on Network and that will tell you just what you have along with your IP address and what adaptor you are using with links to the manufacturers site.
Hope that helps you, if you need any more info just come back and someone will be able to help.

Can't really help as you haven't given any particulars about just what sort of computer you have, only that's it's Vista.
We don't know if it's a desktop or laptop what version of Vista you have or what the name of the driver is that you downloaded.
Please post back with all the relevant information to enable the experts to help you, which I'm sure they can once they know what they are dealing with

they probably were using Everest to find out the make and model of your motherboard as its the mobo manufacturer who will supply the drivers for your ethernet card , tell us what mobo you have or alternatively the make and model of your pc an we can find them for you , oh and what operating sytem , im assuming Vista but is it 32 or 64 bit?
