Ethernet
An Ethernet controller is simply a wired network card. Ethernet is the standard protocol used for most networks. Because of the popularity and wide use of the Ethernet protocol, the term 'Ethernet card' is often used generically for modern network, or NIC, cards. The RJ45 cable used to connect these cards to routers, DSL modems and cable modems is referred to as an Ethernet cable.
Purpose of Reinstalling
Often a hardware device can stop working for other reasons than hardware failure. One of the first troubleshooting steps is to uninstall and reinstall the device. This can involve reinstalling just the drivers -- the software the computer uses to talk to components attached to it -- or physically removing and replacing the device as well. The more thorough process ensures the correct drivers are used and that the hardware is firmly connected. Reinstalling solves a good percentage of many hardware problems.
How to reinstall
Click on the Windows Start button to open the Start menu and click on “Control Panel.” Type “Device Manager” into the search text box at the top right of the Control Panel window. Find your Ethernet controller listed under Network Adaptors, right-click on it, and choose 'Uninstall' from the context menu. Shut down the computer and unplug the power. Make sure you have discharged any static electricity. Open the computer case and remove the Ethernet controller from its card slot by pulling it out gently. Put the controller back in place or, if you have another open slot, place it in a different slot. Restart the computer. Windows will find the controller automatically; just browse to where the driver files are located when asked to do so by Windows. The Ethernet controller is now completely reinstalled. If you have an on-board Ethernet controller, there is no physical card to take out. Just make sure the controller is enabled in the BIOS, which you access upon startup by pressing the function key indicated on the startup screen displayed as your computer boots.
