Windows 7 ethernet nforce4 drivers?

[Gabe3]

What x64 ethernet drivers for win7 should i use? I tried a few different ones so far and not having much luck.

What about the Win7 x64 in-box nForce Ethernet drivers? Didn't they work for you?
Another option are the Vista x64 nForce Ethernet drivers v67.89.

its strange, theres no drivers built into Win7 for my nf4 nvidia onboard NIC. I wonder if its just me? I'm using Win7 x64 ultimate RTM, and a dfi ut NF4 ultra-d motherboard. no built in drivers with the RC either.


BTW: the password change on this site doesn't work for me.

I installed Windows 7 Professional x86 RTM onto a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (nForce 3 250GB chipset) and Windows 7 automatically installed the ethernet without a problem.

I'm using Win7 x64 ultimate RTM, and a dfi ut NF4 ultra-d too, all drivers installed automatically without problems, that is weird?

thats odd, when you go into device manager what driver does it say is installed. the one I installed is v73.0.6.0

i get device cannot start sometimes when i boot, so to get internet I have to reboot sometimes and hope the NIC starts.

Does anyone have their connection showing as 1GBps speed? I am using Windows 7 RTM, default drivers. It will only show me 100.0 Mbps. I'm pretty sure this is a gigabit ethernet jack. But I don't know who makes it or where I can find a driver which will enable the full gigabit speed.

Yes I had the same problem as you. Running a Asus A8N-E NF4 Ultra motherboard too. I'd have to reboot to try my luck at having the network connection working. Usually it says "Device cannot start"

The fix is:
1) Go into Device Manager
2) Under "Network Adapters", Double click "NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller" to bring up "Properties" window.
3) Under "Power Management" tab, UNCHECK "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
4) Reboot

Sometimes I will still get an odd device which fails to start. I think there are some IRQ issues.

i don't see why that would be enabled in the first place. anyway, thanks.

even changing the properties I still have this problem sometimes. are there newer drivers out that fix this?
