network controller driver problems

Question

Hey,   I have a 5150 and just reinstalled windows (lots of problems before) and when i try and install the Broadcom Network Driver, it doesn't seem to be working.  Both connections (LAN and 1394) say that they are enabled, but when i got the device manager, it tells me that i don't have a Driver for my Network Controller.  I'm assuming that would solve my lack on internet problems, but i don't know how to solve it.  Any help would be great, thanks.   Kyle

It sounds like you didn't install the chipset drivers as the first drivers installed after reinstalling Windows.  Without the chipset drivers Windows will not be able to recognize or install the drivers for any device integrated on the motherboard (like the network card).  Install the chipset drivers, then install the drivers for the integrated network card.   Steve
