    Hi
    I recently built a new system using a ECS KV2 LITE Motherboard, which has an onboard ethernet adapter, a VIA RHINE FAST II. This adapter was working fine for the first few days but now the system cant find it at all, i have checked in device manager and it isnt there, restarting the system doesnt make any difference.For a while it was seeing it if i restarted and removed the lead, but that doesnt make a difference now.
    Any suggestions geatly appreciated

    Hi
    Just a quick update, when going through windows update i came across a software fix for this adapter (God bless uncle Bill) this seems to have cured my problems, by finding the adapter if i dissconnect before rebooting, whenever i reboot, disconnected or not the adapter is still there.
