Hoping someone can shed some light on an issue i am having after the Windows 10 upgrade.
Everything on my HTPC is running 100% apart from the network (Ethernet) , wifi works fine via a dongle however i have run this cabled previously for streaming quality.
Since the upgrade it's not picking up and network over cable, the device manager says "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" but there is no connection.
Anyone aware of an updated driver , or anything else I can try.
PS Windows says the best driver is loaded.
I actually cant find any drivers on HP's site for this server either!
Thanks

I had exactly the same issue, and after hours of trial and errors I finally fixed it.
Basically, I had to update the BIOS of my HP Proliant N40L to the latest version. The name of the update is called "SP64420.exe". You can download the application from that page : http://www.msdonkey.com/server/bios-for-hp-proliant-microserver-g7-n54l/
Basically, you have to install/extract "SP64420.exe", that will normally put some files in the folder C:\SWSetup\SP64420 by default. Then you have to find a usb drive, the smallest you can find, like 256mo will do. And then run C:\SWSetup\SP64420\USB Key\HPQUSB.exe to install that new BIOS on the flash drive. Depending on the size of the usb flash drive, it may take a few seconds, of maybe a few minutes. Once this is done, you can just stop your server, insert the flash drive, and start the server. You will see the BIOS upgrade process running, it's just taking a couple of seconds, and then it will display a prompt C:/. After that, you are a winner. Stop the server, remove the flash drive, and start the server. Normally the network will magically be working again.
