Go to solution Solved by Enderman,

thats because the LAN drivers are on that disk...

you need to install the disk first, then download the updated drivers.

 

or you can use another PC to download the drivers to a USB then install them from that USB on the new PC.

Thanks for stopping by! You guess it, I just built my first PC, installed Windows 8.1, and about to install drivers.. My buddy told me not to use the disk with m/b (Maybe out of date), to go to the manufacture website and install... The problem: My ethernet cable is plugged in and I cant see my network connection? Thanks for any advice! And sorry if I posted this in wrong cate..

Just use the disk to install the LAN driver, than go onto the motherboard manufactures website to download the latest drivers. 

Thanks! I thought that might have been the answer but wanted to make sure. Appreciate it

One more question, I hope you don't mind... Is it best to go ahead and install "all" the drivers on disk (Chipset, Audio, LAN, Graphic Accelerator, etc.)

Hopefully nobody will mind.

I would recommend to just do the LAN driver, and then download the rest off the manufactures website. This will ensure that you get the newest driver.

However, if you are having any kind of issue without a driver, then go ahead and install it off the disk.
