Bought a computer off one of my buddies but it doesn't seem

install gentoo

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

>>59054949
Wow, your buddy screws you.
Obvious solution, is a live CD. If it connects, then it's a software problem.
If it doesn't, bring it to your buddy's house, and try again there.
Change cables and parts as needed.

ubuntu sucks ass. install arch

I don't have a live cd. He said he put windows 7 pro on it instead of the windows 7 home. Could that fuck it up?

Maybe I kinda just wanna solve this so I can get all my shit transferred over on steam and such

Download the Ethernet drivers from your motherboards website on your phone or laptop or something and install them on the new pc

download the drivers from a computer with internet. get the device model and look it up.

or alternatively if there's a switch or fn key shortcut for the wifi press that. presto!

I've already done this I have the newest drivers for it

>I don't have a live cd.
Literally just make one. Or a live usb.

Are you sure it's plugged in?

Buy a PCI/PCI Express Ethernet card. They're not that expensive for a basic one. Or get a cheap wifi dongle.

Give us a screen shot of device manager

is the ethernet controller even installed correctly to the motherboard? double check and then check the bios, if there is already the ethernet on the motherboard, it might be trying to use that one instead.
