GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3's Ethernet port not detected by Win7

GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3's Ethernet port not detected by Win7
« on: January 08, 2012, 02:18:46 am »
i've successfully installed Windows on my Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3. However, I can't see the Realtek Ethernet port anywhere in the Device manager. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hi

You will need to install the device drivers for the LAN port. Have you installed all the other drivers too like the Audio and chipset etc ?

Hi lovelyzoo,  ;)

I see your mobo have a LAN :

1 x Realtek RTL8111E chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)

What is your type and version of Windows? Like Windows Seven x64 by exemple.

Download the drivers Realtek here:

If you can't get onto the internet to download because of the missing LAN drivers just use the ones off the installatioin disk and you can update them afterwards.
