It is necessary
Sam Dirvers program
Instructions
Step 1
First, connect the new network adapter to your computer. To do this, disconnect the system unit from the AC power supply and remove the left cover. Install a new network card in the PCI slot and turn on the computer. If you are using a USB-LAN adapter, then connect it to an already turned on PC. This will speed up the automatic device detection process.
Step 2
Some time after the operating system boots, the new network adapter will be automatically detected. If the set of this OS includes drivers for this equipment, then they will be automatically installed. If this did not happen, then install the necessary files yourself. The problem is that you will not be able to access the Internet until this adapter is working.
Step 3
In such situations, it is recommended to use additional programs. Use a different computer and download the Sam Drivers utility. If you are unable to record the entire program, then open the Drivers folder and copy from it all archives containing the LAN string in the name, for example DP_LAN_wnt6-x86_1110.7z.
Step 4
Now copy all these archives to a separate folder on your computer. Open Device Manager and find the network adapter with an exclamation mark in its name. Click on it with the right mouse button and select the option "Update drivers". Now select "Install from Specified Folder". In the menu that opens, select the directory where the driver archives are located and click the Ok button.
Step 5
After completing the installation of the drivers for the network adapter, connect the cable to it. Wait for the automatic detection of the new network. Remember, it is best to use the drivers provided by the manufacturer of this device. Visit the site you want and download the latest drivers.
