So I built my pc today and when I pluged in the Ethernet cable nothing happened, it wouldn't connect to the Internet. I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have an Ethernet driver but my problem is I don't know which driver to download. All I've been able to figure out is I think the manufacturer is Intel.

Download the driver from your motherboard manufacturers page for your motherboard on their website, copy it to a flash drive, move it to your new computer and install the driver.

You can find the drivers on the website of your motherboard manufacturer. Google the name of the mobo

OR
