| Vista | Ethernet Controller 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 |

| Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit / Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit | Re: Ethernet Controller 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. |

| Vista Home Premium SP2 32bit / Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit | Re: Ethernet Controller 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 |
