robroy Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Greetings to all..!! as a new member, I would greatly appreciate any help offered. Some time ago , my computer gave up the ghost , in consequence, I purchased a 'second hand' one, from e-bay.?? The board is a Foxconn 945G7MA (bit of an oldie)Fitted board as replacement, and it' fired up' quite well,.. except.... I cannot access the internet !! Drivers fitted etc, just keep getting " error 769 " more or less telling me there is no ethernet connection?? no reference to LAN anywhere ( by the way I use Sky .com as my ISP) even running their set-up disc --'nowt' My second desktop runs fine , but there just is no connection shown with this motherboard , with an ethernet cable; from the modem..? I repeat, otherwise it runs just fine.. Would certainly like some help or suggestions (Not the Lump hammer treatment yet please ) Thanks for at least reading this lot anyway Quote

KenB Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 If you still have problems after following Maynard's suggestions ......(hopefully that should fix it) Can you connect with an ethernet cable attached direct to the router ? If you can - right click on the device with the yellow exclamation mark against it > click on "Update Drivers" Use the "Auto Detect" option. ============= If you have no internet connection ... Go back to Device Manager. Right click on the device with the exclamation mark > Properties > Details It will probably say "Device Description" .......click the down arrow and click on Hardware IDs It will give you a list that looks like this: http://iworlds.net/images/hardware-ids.png Copy these and post here. It may help to locate the appropriate driver. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !!
