[SOLVED] Been told network adaptor missing

pfcruleok · 04-05-2009, 01:04 AM

Had to reinstalled my windows xp but when i started to reinstall AOL it said that my ethernet port was not detected.
Contacted AOL and they run some test and have told me my network adaptor/nic are missing and that i needed to update my drivers ?

Got a D-link DSL 2640R modem.

Help please as need internet access.

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

Please respond to all the following steps.

Under Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed.
Are there any devices under Network adapters that have a red x displayed?
Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed?
