Internet After Format

[shmay]

Just formatted my computer for the first time, and now cannot connect to the internet. I think I need to install drivers, or something.

I have an Intel Avalon D915GAV motherboard, judging by this picture: [IMG]http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8251/unitow6.th.png[/IMG].

I have an Ethernet cable line, with Charter Communications.

So what do I do? Please help! I really want my internet back.

thats better , now i can say that all 3 yellow ? will be fixed with the 2 drivers i mention plus you need the video graphics accelerator driver as well .

successfully installed graphics accelerator, but when I attempted to install the LAN drivers, it gave me this error message:

"Cannot install drivers. No Intel(R) PRO Adapters are present in this computer."

god ,is everyone afraid to click on icons ,you needed to click around within that section to find the controller .so i will shorten the search for you ,click on the pci/pnp network ,this will show you what in the box ,then search www.google.com for what it shows ,this should lead to drivers for the device .search like this , "what it shows drivers"

[shmay]

It says Ethernet Controller[noDB]. I searched that on google, with "drivers" on the end, and it just brought me to a bunch of forums.

Can you finish this off for me? I'll send you like 10 bucks if you get it working. Better than nothing.
