Posted March 17, 2016 Hi, I recently built a new PC and had a few issues, especially with the Mobo and PSU. The reason I mention this is because I am having problems connection to the internet via Ethernet cable. I want to find out if it could be a Mobo issue or software? Regards, Hibbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections Click your connection and go to 'properties' IPV4 properties Make sure they're set to 'obtain automatically' for IP address and DNS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the n00b questions. https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z170A-GAMING-M7.html#down-driver&Win10 64 download the drivers from that link for your specific OS, they should be .exe files that will just execute, pretty easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your motherboard came with a CD then it would have the drivers on there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
