My mellow fellows,
I have a little problem with one of the PCs in the office. Most folks here use MACs and the network hasn't had too many problems with them. I have one Windows PC in the place, which is having issues getting a valid IP address. It keeps assuming an APIPA. Flushing the DNS and restarting seem to help, and I can use a wifi dongle as well, but I'd like to do the basic step of updating the driver...and I'm getting frustrated.
Why, in the heck, doesn't intel provide actual driver software anymore? I need to install an application that installs the drivers? Are you serious?
I've downloaded the ProSet application, but it seriously sucks. And I can't seem to find which driver is the current one for the NIC. Even if I did find out which version is the newest/most stable, I have not been able to find a driver file newer than the one I'm using.
I'm bummed. Why the hell do I need another application to update driver software? What sense does that make? Why do you hate me, Intel?
Any ideas, y'all?
Thanks!
