Hello,

I have a Sony vaio vista model VGNNR120E that does not connect to Internet. The Diagnostics says that there are issues with the "Marvell Yukon 88E8039PCI-E Fast Ethernet] Controller". I troubleshot the controller and it is said that it works properly. I don't know what to do, please help.

thanks for the reply, I tried reinstalling the driver but it won't let me, it says 'this update can only run on Microsoft Windows Vista'.

I tried again and again but it still says that the update can only run on Microsoft Windows Vista. My laptop actually runs on Windows Vista Premium. I went on Device Manager to to check the controller status. It says that the device is working properly. I really don't understand. Is there anything to make the Internet connection work? Thank you for your help.
