Windows 7 Won't Connect To Internet - Install Drivers For Network Adapter
Oct 8, 2011
Windows 7 won't connect to the internet? The ethernet cable is plugged in and it works, but when I am on Windows 7 it cannot detect that I am connected to the internet. I have tried unplugging and replugging and restarting but it still doesn't work. When I troubleshoot, it says: Install a driver for your network adapter.
I just did a new build, Intel i5 2500K, ASRock mobo, 16 g ram, my old PNY Quadro NVS 440 video card for my 4 monitors, Crucial M4 64 g SSD, turned it on, works from git go, but I can't connect to the internet. Finally talked with MS support somewhere and they finally said that my network adapter was missing and said I had to buy a drivers and utility disk for my computer. I'm on ATT Uverse and 2 other computers in the house can connect just fine. It's not Uverse or the connection, it's something wrong with my W7 OS or my stupidity. Did I install the software OS incorrectly? Why is there something missing from my OS or computer?How can Windows 7 HP 64 bit not come with a network adapter or driver?
I just performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. The machine used to have Windows 8 but the user did not want that OS. Now that the OS is up and running I need to find out how to get the drivers needed on that machine. I can't even connect to the internet with it to download them from the laptop itself.

When I tried to connect it wirelessly to the internet (using the wireless USB adapter --> Zonet ZEW2546), it cannot detect any single network available, even though the router is just one floor below the PCBut, when I tried to plug the USB adapter to the other PC, which runs on Win XP, on the same floor as mine, the adapter works perfectly, and I could surf the web from the Win XPWhat do you think the problem is? Hardware or driver?Btw, I have specifically looked for the newest driver for the USB adapter (which also supports win 7 64-bit) and installed it to the new system, but still to of no avail.
I just installed Windows 7 onto a Dell Vostro 230. After installing, the internet has a red X on it and it says no network adapter. I have no idea what to do.
I've been away from the PC world for the past few years because I've been running a Mac.I decided to get back into some gaming on picked up a Dell XPS desktop running windows 7 ultimate x64.I bought a Asus USB N10 Wifi Adapter and it won't connect to the internet. It gets a limited activity logo over top of the connection. Today I tried plugging it rite into the router with a LAN cable and still, no dice. Came up with an IP address error.I'm guessing this is a router issue? When i run ipconfig in cmd prompt, it doesn't even have a default gateway?
We recently switched providers from Megapath DSL to Verizon dsl. With Megapath all computers on our network could access the internet. With verizon all the xp computers connect to the internet with no problem but the windows 7 pc's only connect intermittently and sometimes not at all. They connect to the network just fine.
I have RTL81918192SE Network adapter I made upgrade when i want to connect to wifi happen blue screen and restart bccode 076. Minidump i put here. Maybe i need just disable some drive?
I'm having a connection issue with my new computer running Windows 7 Professional x64. When I first set it up, the wireless connection worked flawlessly, and then the next day the internet cut out and has not connected since (currently 2 days). Note that I can still connect to the Network, it is just the internet connection that is the issue. Other computers and devices can still connect to the network and internet, and as a temp fix I am using a wired connection to the same router.
My router is a Dynalink RTA1025W Rev2 using WPA2-Personal security, and my computer has a 802.11n Wireless LAN Card.

None of the above have worked, even temporarily.
I have also attempted to connect to a neighbor's unsecured wireless network, however I was also unsuccessful with that.
i reinstalled windows 7 home premium 64-bit (from recovery media, i got it when i bought my laptop) on my samsung NP300E5A laptop, on device manager it says that i have five missing drivers, driver are:
-3D Video Controller -Ethernet Controller -Network Controller -PCI Simple Communication Controller -SM Bus Controller
Oh and after i reinstall windows, when i reboot windows it loads and instead of welcome screen it shows me black screen and cursor, i can move cursor.
My brothers advent modena laptop stopped working and it turned out it was a hard drive issue. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled windows 7 32bit. I had to download a iso file from [URL] as he wasn't give a installation disc. The install went fine except when it was finished there was no internet connection available. I tried to troubleshoot but couldn't find any network drivers.
I upgraded from Windows 7 Starter to Windows Home Premium and now I don't have any network adapters to get on the internet. I need to determine what drivers/adapters are needed to do so.
So I have re-installed my Windows 7 due to some reasons and now, when I connect my built-in LAN ethernet cable to the pc, it just tells me, that I need some drivers for the network adapter/Ethernet controller.
I have had this problem sporadically for the last month or so (since moving to this apartment). I am on the network but it says I have no internet acces. Other people on this network seem to connect fine (although they have had issues to) but I cant. I have 3 devices, all of which cant connect. On top of this, when i restart the computer or disconnect and reconnect adapter, I get internet access for about 20 seconds, enough time to load a google search or one webpage. however inevitably it always returns to the no internet access status. I have tried numerous fixs including reseting winsocks, using a new adapter, clearing browser history, changeing to static ip and changing back to automatically obtained one.
I am only getting " limited" access to the wireless network at my university, meaning no access! I had no wireless adapter issues 20 min earlier. The only thing I did install was driverupdate, cause I was getting the blue screen only when I was connected to the wireless network at school and the code that came up on the blue screen said something wrong with the driver.I have tried s restore to te previous day, that didn't work! I uninstalled DriverUpdate, still doesn't work. I've tried clearing dns cashe at cmd, that didn't work.

When I try to connect to the internet, it just says "identifying" then says it is an "unidentified network". I've tried:
Resetting the modem Checked all cables Uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers Disabled & enabled the drivers It's set to automatically connect to DNS Updating the ethernet with the latest from Microsoft Ran ipconfig /release and renew Tried another modem and new cables Tried other houses with DSL & Cable internet
I installed a USB wireless device which worked when I tested it in wireless areas. But so far nothing has worked for the wired part. At one point before all this started, the internet worked intermittently and would work at other houses perfectly. So I assumed it was my modem or connection at my house. But then I plugged another PC into my modem and it worked instantly. So I know there is no physical problem with my connection, modem or cables.
I can connect to my router, and the icon shows "Internet Access" and I can access my shared folders. But I can't access the internet. I've got both IE and Chrome and both do not work.

I've been having connection problems for the last year, it's really annoying and so hard to understand whats happening. The internet connection is my dads, he lives in the garage beside me. He's with talk-talk fibre optic. The small modem type thing that connects is in the garage along with the main router that connects to the small thing, not sure what this is but it obviously connects to the fibre optic.His PC is connected to the router by wire, there is then a wire that runs from that router up through the garage and into the house through the wall in one of the bedrooms, this is were I have a router or two, (i've tried two routers with mixed results.) I'm connected via wireless through the second router in a room upstairs and get full signal when connected. I have a belkin 54g and a netgear dg834n. Now this morning after leaving my computer on all night, i woke up and it wasn't connected. Although this happens everyday when i turn my laptop on, i have to connect via wireless to the main router in the garage, then reconnect to the router up stairs to get the connection to come on. This time round it wont work at all. The netgear gives me - "Windows Networking TroubleShoot Error: The connection between your access point, router, or cable modem and the internet is broken."
I have a Windows 7 32bit desktop and Amilo Li3710 Laptop with also Windows 7 32bit.
Both have WLAN.
motherboard of desktop pc is P5k deluxe Wi-Fi edition.
I made on desktop pc an ad hoc connection with protection and security key.
Turned on wlan on laptop and it was detected. But as i try to connect, at the end i get unidentified network and can't connect to Internet.
But my first try was a success and i had Internet and a working home group.
Now i don't know how sometimes i get home group (on my laptop i can share music, videos etc thats on my desktop pc) but i still don't have Internet. Or in the worst chase both are gone.
Now i noticed when i go to Network and Sharing Center and then enter "Change advanced sharing settings" i see that a Public is the (current profile). How do i change that to be the Home?
what the network adapter driver is called for my z77 extreme6. I'm using a usb drive to transfer drivers from another computer. No. I don't have my disk that came with the motherboard.
I recently installed a fresh Win7 Ultimate on my PC. I have done this many times, but nothing like this has happened.
I have a problem connecting to the internet from my laptop. This is a screenshot of my Device Manager. [URL]
Don't worry, no viruses or anything. The diagnostic tools and built-in problem solving tools do nothing, as usual. If anyone could link me to a website to update it And it has to be specifically for my device since it cannot update through the internet.
I have a hp pavilion windows 7 home premium that will not connect to the internet. When i ping google.com i get "ping request could not find host google.com. please check name and try again.". however, when i ping 74.125.224.176 i get "PING: transmit failed. General failure. 100% loss". I have also tried to connect while in safe-mode but not luck and i also reset all setting in IE. I have two other computers connecting to my 2wire modem and they are both working fine. The last attempt was installing a new network pci card. I have also swapped out the cable but i still get "Identifying... No internet access."

I have a pluscom network adapter which I use to connect my xbox to xbl through my pc. I've recently had to clean reinstall Windows 7 so I've I need to reinstall the driver for this, but can't find it online anywhere.
OP: Windows 7 won't connect to the internet? The ethernet cable is plugged in and it works (it can connect to the internet fine on the mac partition) but when I am on Windows 7 it cannot detect that I am connected to the internet. I have tried unplugging and replugging and restarting but it still doesn't work. When I troubleshoot, it says: Install a driver for your network adapter. But I am using the DSL-G604T and on its website it says it doesn't need drivers.
Okay so I have no clue how to do this. This message pops up every time I try to troubleshoot my internet connection. Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver. This is funny though because my network was working find but there was this issue with my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium OA 32 bits) and I repaired and now the problem is gone but now I have the problem with my network. What do I do?
