Question about via 4-in1 driver. My I am clueless question of the week

[leigh6]

Hi all,

I picked up an MSI kt800 939 mobo with no software. I have burned the via 4 in 1 drivers from another computer. Does anybody know if an ethernet driver is included in the 4 in 1?
I burned a gigabit lan driver from the msi site but it seems the exe file is a utility file and not the actual driver.

I am so confused.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (I wasnt sure which forum to put this in so please dont blast me if this forum is wrong)

Hi Leigh6

Go HERE to d/l the ethernet driver. Click on win XP (or whatever OS), at the next screen you should see the ethernet divers, they are last on the list.

What is the model of your MSI motherboard? It may use a discrete LOM chip or it may use the integrated VIA MAC + PHY chip. The driver you need depends on the hardware you have.

Edit: I see only one VIA S939 model from MSI - K8T Neo2. This board uses a Realtek 8110S controller:


Latest Realtek driver w/ install utility --> HERE


Latest Realtek WDM driver w/o install utility --> HERE #2

It is a k8t neo 2. Correct. The links you gave me are for something called ftp explorer. The following is via's list of ethernet controllers.

I do not see the 8100s

Sorry, I used the http tags instead of the ftp tags by mistake. The links are fixed now.

Your LAN hardware is made by Realtek and requires Realtek drivers.
