Nvidia nforce Network Controller?

Lost internet connection yesterday. Contacted my internet service provider, everything seems to work on his end but my computer refuses to accept the connection even though it states in the control panel network connections that it is connected. After 40 min of trying to isolate a problem, the service rep told me it must be my network connector. Any suggestions as to what else it might be? I can't even find the appropriate driver for this Nvidia Nforce Network Controller since my computer is 5 years old. Thanks

    Have you scanned for malware? Sometimes malware will redirect your connection preventing you from getting to the internet. Also, I have seen a few that have setup a loop-back proxy server. Resetting the Internet Settings in Control Panel may help.

    Check your motherboard vendor's web site for motherboard drivers. Sometimes they are called "chipset" drivers, and include on board network drivers. Otherwise, try Windows update, to see if it finds anything...

    You can download the nForce drivers from http://www.nvidia.com,/ even if your computer is five years old.
