Question about Insignia D300a PC Desktop
If you physically know that the card is there, then you will have to look at the network card and look at the manufacturers name on the chip on top of the card. You can then either post it back here or search yourself on the net for a driver. Although just make sure it is enabled, Go into hardware, then device manager in my computer properties or control panel and look down the list at 'network adapters'. Click the '+' sign adn check that your wreless adapter has not got a yellow!(exclamation mark) next to it, if so it's a driver error.

An ethernet card, you can see from the rear of the pc, it will have a female socket similair to a phone socket, this can be built into the motherboard or a seperate PCI card similair to a modem.
If you have found a network adapter in your devices in device manager, then the '!' means there is no driver and the 'red x' means that it is dissabled (right click on it and click enable).
The multi media controller may well be your dial up modem which you won't need if your on broadband or cable.
If it is built into the motherboard (if so it will be located near your speaker input) the drivers will be on your motherboard driver cd or recovery cd.
If it is an 'add on' PCI network card it will be situated where the oblong removable slats are at the bottom of your pc.
You can take the side of pc off and look at the body of the card and it will have the manufacturer on it so as to get the drivers.

I don't physically know that it it there. Where would I look once the computer is opened? I know that I uninstalled the ethernet controller like the troubleshooter said to, and after I restarted.. the ethernet controller popped up as a plug and play device, but I still couldn't get the driver. I found the driver online, and burned it to a disc, put the disk in the insignia computer and still it couldn't locate the driver.
there is not a 'network adapters' on my computer. It only said 'other devices' under that are my multimedia controller (which has a yellow ?, and a !). Then there is also the ethernet controller (which has a yellow ? and a red X)
thanks for all of your help! It is working now! :)
