[SOLVED] network adapter problem

[normmiller]

I recently got sat int for my emachine w3050 with ethernet cable attached the green light illuminates but the computer does not detect the network connection. Device manager dosen't detect network adapters, so i cant check if the intigrated adapter is working or not. Sys info lists network adapters that are installed. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks Norm

Start, Run, 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.

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.

Try typing the command correctly.

IPCONFIG /ALL

i solved the problem another way, i bought a pci adapter card and installed it the system works fine now. Thank you for your help.

Hello. I was browsing the forums and came across this, and was wondering if there was any other way to resolve this, because I am having the same problem. When I type the IPCONFIG /ALL all that comes up is

"Windows IP Configuration" and then it prompts me again.

Thanks for the assistance

Unfortunatly I know of no other way, but the network adapter card only cost about $20.00 if you have an open slot I recomend installing one and save yourself a lot of head ache
