I recently reformatted my computer. Once it got done, there was no LAN listed under my Network Connections - only my firewire cable. I downloaded the necessary drivers for my LAN card, went into the Device Manager to Update Driver, and it's not listed ANYWHERE. Not under Network Adapters, not under "Others". I can't find it anywhere. I reinstalled the Intel Chipset software, but still to no avail. It has no internet connection, but the lights on LAN do blink. It's an on-board LAN device. If someone can help me out, I'll have your children.

Try uninstalling the firewire under device manager, if this isnt it windows will reinstall it........
Once you uninstall it, try to install the driver, you dont need to use device manager to do this, just double click the driver program, and it should install, then restart the pc......

On board devices almost always require driver from the manufacturer manufacturer of the PC.
Hopefully you have another computer and can surf to their site.
Make sure that your CMOS doesn't have the device disabled.
Also, check for unidentified devices in device manager (items with a ! next to them) Remove the device(s) reboot and use the 'have disk' option instead of allowing windows to find it.
Good luck.

Go to your control panel>network and add your adapter there if you do not see it listed. It may not show up under device manager. Mine doesn't so don't panic. Sorry. Already married.

Your network card id disabled by the BIOS. Access your BIOS setup by pressing the "Del" key while booting. (In some computers you have to press different keys like "F2", "F1" of "Esc" to access the BIOS. Then select the Default settings of your BIOS. Make sure your network card is enabled there. This will obviously work for you.

After shutting down your computer, remove your network card, then re-seat it in the slot. Uninstall the card if you can see it AT ALL, then reboot the system. If the system still does not see the card, remove the card (after shutting down the computer, of course) and try it in a different slot; reboot. If the system still does not detect the card at that point, then unfortunately, I think you have a dead card :-(
As to my kids... thanks, but I already took care of that ;-)
