    Network Controller (!)

    Hello,

    I am connected to the internet (hardwired into the router), however, I have been having a small problem with latency while gaming. I used to have a ping of 35 ms while playing online games and now it's up to about 70/80 ms, and is not very stable.

    I checked my device manager and my network controller has a yellow exclaimation mark next to it (it has no driver). Due to this, I'm a little confused as to how I am managing to get connected to the internet, or my router for that matter, and if this could this be causing my latency problem?

    Regards,

    Sam.

    AFAIK that yellow exclamation mark can indicate an ISSUE with drivers although they are still working, albeit poorly.

    Right click the device, click Update driver and see what happens.

    Hi,

    Yes, I tried this, however, I get the reply that drivers cannot be found for this unknown device.

    Everest tells me it's an NVIDEA nForce4 network controller. I have been trying to find these drivers, to no avail (even on NVIDEAs website)

    Please specify make, model of computer and what operating system and what service packs.

    edit: I believe those are part of the MVidia chipset package and you need to install that -> http://www.nvidia.com/page/mobo.html
