[SOLVED] How to test my ethernet card

Ever since i got my new pc, something just doesn't seem right with gaming. My connection seems really bogged down, and slow while playing online games. I have done speed test and the download speed is normal to what i normally get. I have the latest nvidia drivers installed. I have done trace routes to the servers i play on,and they are okish. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with my ethernet card? And how do I upgrade the drivers for my ethernet card specifaclly?

Hi,

if your network is up and running normally; I suspect it has something to do with your graphics, try installing the complete Mono package which is the "Net Framework" package of Linux, open a terminal and paste this command:

Code:

sudo apt-get install mono-complete

Let us know if it helps.
