-pops- Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Wasn't there a drivers/auxiliary software disk provided with the computer?If not, a visit to the manufacturers website should provide you with the necessaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANEMAN Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hi.Sounds as though network drivers are not installed.Pops Said: - a visit to the manufacturers website should provide you with the necessaries. Have you done that yet ?If not here is the link for your country (Canada): http://www.hp.com/canada/compaq/cpq_support.htmlEnter your product, and choose "Software & Driver Downloads"Download and install Network/LAN drivers.John.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 http://drivermax.com/ can help you to identify unknown devices. Of course it cannot download the drivers, as you don't have a network connection, but at least you will know what network adapter you have.

dandy52002 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ok I think I have located the Mother board ID number its biostar motherboard MCP6P M2+ I still have not been able to find a driver to be able to connect to the internet I guess I need a Len Driver. I would love to be able to do it automaticly but that system needs the driver before you can conect to the internet. The computer is a Desktop Compaq Presario 2000I still need help in finding this driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandy52002 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Good Afternoon Everyone, Sorry for taking so long to give this information. The way I resolved my problem was by first checking with this web site and your Windows Form which is very helpful. Than I went to You Tube to find out how to identify my mother board. That information is printed on the mother board. With that information I was able to go on the internet and found the appropriate Lan Driver for my system.Here is the web address......./>http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/driver.php?S_ID=370My Mother board was MCP6P M2+I hope this information is useful to someone else.Thanks Dandy52002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
