Hi,
I recently replaced the failed motherboard (with nVidia GPU) on my Vostro 1710 with an Intel GM965 chipset Motherboard Y185C H211G.
I’m running the same Win7 system that was running on the old motherboard. Everything seems to work fine and I’ve been using the system for a couple of months now.
I’ve been connecting to the internet wirelessly. However when I tried to connect to the internet via a wired LAN connection there was no connection. Checked Device Manager and under Network Adapters there was no entry for Ethernet/LAN, only an entry for Intel wireless and two Bluetooth entries.
Seems like the Ethernet driver is missing? I couldn’t find a driver for Win7 for the Vostro 1710. Assuming it’s a missing driver problem where can I find an appropriate driver?
All help/suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
