How to install Ethernet drivers?

What drivers do I need to install for my ethernet?

  • My Ethernet controller isn't running and I need the drivers. I can't go online but I'm going to go to my friends house and download the exe. File on my flash drive (I can do that right?). Well I don't know where to install my drivers, and which ones I need. I went on hp and types my computer model (pavillion a6600f) a bunch of drivers came up. I don't know what to do lol, help?

  • Answer:

    You do not need to visit any online sites to retrieve factory drivers in Vista or Xp. Simply open the Recovery Manager and select Advanced options>Set the radio button to Reinstall hardware that came with your computer>Next>Next>Select your Ethernet card from the menu by highlighting it>Next. And then the driver reinstall will begin. You should then go to the Device Manager and update the driver. Also are you positive you need drivers? Have you checked for a warning symbol in the Device manager, as it is a possibility that it is disabled in Services. Type services.msc into the run box to check if it has become accidentally disabled. (You can also check via the Task Manager under the Processes tab). Yes you can install them on a flash drive and simply plug it into your USB port and it should open in Autoplay. Next time please include your operating system info.

Simple, download all the drivers under internet on the hp site. Try them one by one. Most setups check your hardware to make sure you have the ethernet card before installing; ie. Only the one that's the right one will let you install.
