I need ethernet drivers for a Gateway GT4010 computer my dad reformatted a couple days ago. The only drivers on the gateway website are:

And nowhere on the internet can I find ethernet drivers.

Any help?

The one site that actually had specs for the NIC said its a nvidia integrated. Did you already install the chipset drivers? If not try the forceware for the os and see if they work.

Chipset Used: Nvidia C51G
Front Side Bus Supported: 2 GHz
Memory Types Supported: 4 GB (max) DDR 400 MHz and DDR 333 MHz DIMMs

would it be possible to link me to the respective forceware?

I can't seem to find it on nvidias site. googling c51g isn't resulting in which one to download

i imagine the latest official nforce drivers would work...

Be sure to uncheck the components to install except ethernet.

As leet said the latest ones for XP may work fine, but I did some more searching for the chipset (Nvidia C51G) and found these. Try them and see, they are for that board.
