*SOLVED* Ethernet port not active

[rorilogan]

Hi all,

I've just had to reset my computer to factory settings and it deleted a load of my files.
Since this, my ethernet port no long works on my motherboard?

It's a Z170M Mortar MOBO, the onboard LAN in the bios is set to enabled but it no longer works?

I'm at a complete loss and need some help!!

Thanks

Solved now!

Turns out my drivers for my LAN controller and been deleted, which turned off my lan control

How are you ever meant to get the drivers if you don't have a ODD drive

Not sure if question or not? But I found them through the support page of my motherboards website!
