Network connections have disappeared in windows?

Hardware manager in windows properties network connections are not listed to edit. Control Panel -%26gt;Network Connections nothing listed there either. Have two ports connected to the computer one is on Board the other is connected to a PCI slot. Cannot find either. Cannot find modem. Any kind of network connection port I cannot find in windows. The onboard LAN connection is lit when the computer boots up. Green light only no yellow light at all. Can't install drivers because the hardwar manager cannot even find the devices to begin with. Have wiped windows from the system and completely reinstalled Windows onto the computer still cannot find network devices listed in windows.

Network connections have disappeared in windows?
I know it could be quite frustrating. Try these steps ...





-- Restore the defaults for your BIOS.


-- START %26gt; All Programs %26gt; Accessories %26gt; System Tools %26gt; System Information %26gt; In the new window that pops up, Click on the tab TOOLS %26gt; NET DIAGNOSTICS. Run the test and see what the result.


-- Try running the ADD HARDWARE whizard from Control Panel again.


-- Check if ur NIC is disable in BIOS.


-- Open the tower and reseat the PCI Card


-- Clear the CMOS by reseating the CMOS Jumper on Motherboard.


Flush the flea power by turning off the computer and then unplug all the cables from tower, Press and hold the power button for about 10 secs.


Plug-in ONLY Power cable, monitor cable, keyboard and mouse to the tower, then check if your Device Manager can see the PCI NIC

Reply:Try uninstalling the one on your PCI slot and installing it again. But first open up your computer and disconnect it from the PCI slot and re-insert it. Make sure its inserted correctly and tightly. It could be the one on your mo-bo is damaged since its directly connected on the board. *if you need more help give send me an email*
