Network adapter I tried to download network software and was prompted that there was no network adapter connected. This computer worked fine with wireless befre.

Several computer models include two specific hardware components that enable the device to connect to the Internet: an Ethernet adapter card and a wireless adapter card.

These cards are also called network adapters, or network cards.
If your computer suffers from an intermittent Internet connection, and your Internet service provider (ISP) doesn't detect any issues on their end, you can update the software for the network adapters to resolve the intermittent connection.

If updating the adapters doesn't resolve the problem, reset the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) and Winsock to restore the connection.

Click "Start." Click "Control Panel."
Type "manager" into the search bar.
Click "Device Manager."

Expand "Network Adapters."
You should have one wired adapter and one wireless adapter, if the computer has wireless support.

Double-click each adapter.
Write down the name of the adapter, as well as the manufacturer's name.

Go to the computer or network adapter manufacturer's website if you installed the adapter to the computer yourself.
If the adapter came with the computer, go to the computer manufacturer's site instead.

Select the "Support," "Download" or "Drivers" page.
Look up your computer or adapter model.

Select your operating system.
Click the "Network," "LAN" or "Internet" category.

Download the latest adapters for your network devices.
Click "Save" or "Save As" and save the files to your desktop.

Return to Device Manager. Right-click the first device. Click "Update Driver Software."
Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software."

Follow the remaining on-screen directions to reinstall the device driver.
Repeat the process for the other network device.

Restart the computer after reinstalling the drivers to repair the intermittent Internet issue.

Reset IP

Log in to Windows as an administrator.
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift and Esc keys to open Windows Task Manager.

Click "File." Click "New Task." Type "cmd" and press Enter to open Command Prompt.

Type "netsh int IP reset c:\resetlog.txt" into the Command Prompt.
Press Enter to rewrite the TCP/IP registry keys.

Enter "netsh winsock reset" into the command-line prompt.
Press Enter to reset the Winsock catalog and resolve the intermittent Internet problem.

Please go to command promplt and type ipconfig. You should be getting an ip address as 192.168.1.x and Default Gateway 192.168.1.1 .
Try to ping 192.168.1.1 from your command prompt
If you are getting responce means you are connected to the Belkin wireless Router.
If not then try power cycling the Belkin router once.
If that also not working then you may have to go for a driver update.

• hard wire the laptop to the router, which reestablishes the connection.
• set the connection to be wireless
• follow the prompts and you will soon be wireless again

You need to Update the Drivers for your Wireless Adapter...Download the Drivers from here

After downloading the drivers you need to unzip the file...After you unzip the file you should un-install the adapter drivers/software from Programs menu...Leave the adapter connected to the PC and reboot your computer...Once the computer is rebooted you should see a message "Found new Hardware"...Select the option Install it from a specific location and click Next, then select Include this location in Search and browse to the place where you have unzipped all the files and select the Driver folder and click O.k...Then click Next and it should install the adapter drivers...

NOTE : This installation doesn't install the software(Linksys Monitor)...

Once the Adapter is installed, Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select "View Available Wireless Networks"- If you see your wireless network in the list, highlight it by 'single' clicking on it- Now click on the 'Connect' button below- If your wireless network is secured, it would ask you to provide the network key- Provide the wireless network key and confirm it again in the confirmation box and click "Connect"...It should connect to your Network and Internet...

go to run and type cmd.When a screen pops up type " ping www.google.com" , omiting these quotes and press enter.If you get something back which says things like ttl etc..then you have an internet connection..If you get a negative reply then you know you definitely have no connection.Try to reset your wireless connection and check if your firewall is stoping you..Also try on cmd prompt " ipconfig/all "..Check the results on google and maybe this could be helpful as well, on cmd prompt, type " ipconfig / iprenew" and press enter..Then when you are back at a blinking cursor then type " ipconfig / iprelease...Try these and if does not help then you should also consider rebooting the pc and restarting windows wireless configuration..(Google it and you will be fine)

I would be tempted to reseat the wireless card and ensure its seated firmly - then un install the drivers you have currently - download the latest drivers from the linksys website and install those.

Then try again, also try with a different web browser and see if that helps at all.

Also if you go to command prompt

start --> run and type

cmd

Press enter or click on ok

this should open a black window called the command prompt.

Enter / type the command as below

ipconfig /all

notice there is a space between ipconfig and /all

then press enter and it should state all the information relating to connections on any network adapters obviously you are only interested in the linksys wireless adapter so make sure you are getting a valid ip address, sub net mask etc.

If not then thats your issue, if you are then it should be fine.

If you are still having issues you can try winsock fix and lsp fix as per below

winsock fix

lsp fix

how to fix winsock from MVPS site ( very useful )

some of the links on the above MVPS website are dead just so you are warned.

If this still does not resolve the issue then I would get a squared and hijackthis ( hijackthis.de )

If you google for a squared and hijackthis you should be able to download and update those and run scans for spyware and viruses etc.

Also if you have a spare computer ( a friends or family members that you can test the wireless card on ) if it works on theres fine then that rules out that the hardware ie the wireless card is fine and that its obviously a software issue.

find the download from linksys website and it should be fine.

Can you confirm where you are downloading it from ?
