Also, don't forget to unpack the drivers from their appropriate directories after downloading them, for Ethernet that would be: C>Drivers>Win>Ethernet

Hope this helps.

Did you remember to run the executable files after you extracted the drivers to your drive?

EDIT: Well I guess I need to learn to type faster.

I would like to say he forgot to run the .exe files. I made that same mistake a few years ago when I got my first T22.
