Hold the Windows key and press R, then type devmgmt.msc

Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed. Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?





Then do this.

Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD to open a command prompt:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

OH, almost forgot you had questions for me... three devices are listed under Network adapters:

1394 Net Adapter
D-link Air DWL-650 Wirless PC Card (rev.P)
Intel 8255x-based PCI Ehternet Adapter (10/100)

I'm sure you know there are more hidden devices as well.

And, no devices anywhere in the Device Manager displayed with yellow ? or !

Thanks
