Local Area Network (LAN) connection isnt showing up in connections

[mda13336]

Hi thanks for looking,
I have just recently reinstalled windows. When I plug in the lan cable, no LAN connection comes up. I have never had this problem before and usually just doing this will allow me to have internet.
Whats wrong? How can I fix?

Thanks

It needs a Driver. You'll need to visit the Motherboard Manufacturers website & download the driver for your model board.

Before you go there, look in Device Manager {control panel / system /hardware} and see if anything else has an exclamation mark - they'll require drivers too!

Awesome will give that a try. How do I find out what motherboard it is?

Either rip the side off the Case and eyeball it, or use a tool like this:
