Will not connect to the internet.

[Matthew4170]

I just got a new rig up and running. But it can't connect to the internet. When I plug in an ethernet cable, it doesn't react to it, even if I reset the computer. It said drivers could be the issue. And this modem does go back to I believe 06. But I tried going to AT & T's website but I can't find a solution. It's a Dial-Up connection by the way. Can someone help me?

 

My Build:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Motherboard:P8Z77-V LK

CPU: Intel  i5 3570K

GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 660 OC 2 GB

HDD: Western Digital Blue 1 TB SATA III (WD10EZEX)

Case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R

PSU: XFX Pro 750W Core Edition

Have you gone online on another PC, and downloaded the driver for the NIC on your motherboard? If you don't have access to the internet in any way, use the driver disc that came with your motherboard.

So you've tried installing the Realtek Gigabit lan drivers?

*facepalm* I obviously have internet since I am posting on this forum. But I will try installing the drivers that came with my motherboard. Later though, I need a break. It's weird since it came with two disks not just one, but I'll try to choose the later version if I can distinguish which one is newer.

I don't even know what you are talking about.

^That. You need those drivers for your LAN to work.

Haha, made my morning. Yeah either the drivers  that T.Vengeance posted or just off your disk will do. Good luck

Uh wouldn't I need the Ethernet driver, not the LAN? I know LAN stands for Local Area Network, but like is it wireless or wired or what.
