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.

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

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.
