Hi, Please could someone help me find where i can download the network/ethernet drivers for Pentium dual-core CPU E5300 2.6 GHz. I reformatted the C drive but forgot to back up the drivers and ca't seem to find them on the Intel website or elsewhere on the internet. thanks in advance -JJ
They will be at the MBoard manuf. site...
Or if it's a laptop then the laptop's manuf. site.Thank you PATIO, i searched the motherboard manufactures website and downloaded the drivers and chipset for my motherboard Gigayte GA-G31M-ES2L, i ran the setup files and restarted the computer but it didn't work, there are still yellow marks in devise manager, i am quite sure it's the correct chipset, the graphics driver did update but not the ethernet controller and others. Could you please help me with the next step … thank you. JJ
What Windows version ? ?Windows XP,

in Device Manager/Ethernet Controller/details it has this:

PCI VEN_10EC&DEV_8168&SUBSYS_E001458&REV_02 4&3A0400F3&0&00E1

i downloaded what i THOUGHT to be the relative driver from Realtek but when i tried to install it i got the MESSAGE:

Installer can't find Atheros AR81Family ethernet controller on your system.

Maybe i downloaded the wrong driver?You should have DLoaded them from the MBoard manufacturers site...
I'd start over...DLoad and install the MBoard chipset driver 1st...then re-boot then install all other drivers.It worked :-)

I had the wrong network driver, there were 2; Athros and Realtek, the Realtek worked. Took me a while to find it on the Gigabyte website. Then i reinstalled the WIFI driver and now it works too.

thank you for your time and help :-)Anytime...
Glad your fixed up...
