Ethernet Controller Driver for Vaio FS Series?

Hey guys,

I have a Vaio FS315B which I recently formatted with a clean install of Windows XP Professional as it only came with Windows XP Home, but I can't get my 10/100mbps Network Controller to work. Any idea which is the manufacturer so that perhaps I could check their site to download the driver?

Thanks in advance!

This is usually supported natively by Windows.

I think you have an Intel card, you can usually see this in Device Manager.

Thanks for the fast reply but no there is no native support for it...In Device Manager I just see a Question mark next to Ethernet Controller but further there is no info...

Right click it and do uninstall - once done reboot.

Thanks. Just did that but it can't find any driver...The wizard could not find the necessary software blabla...

Go to VAIO-Link.com and download the drivers and utilities.

Hmmm...works now..strange...I had downloaded the drivers package before...maybe I just needed to install the newest Intel wireless drivers first which I did...

Thanks 10x Kee-Lo, I'll tell you, you made quite a bit of my day :slight_smile: I feel quite happy now that all drivers are installed on my system. Cheers and have a great week!
