How to install network adapter driver?

My Dell xps internet was working fine yesterday (wired connection) but then all of a sudden the internet stopped working even though the cat6 was plugged in to the router. I tried different cables to see if the cable was faulty but it turns out that my network adapter is missing a driver. I checked what network adapters are inside my motherboard but its come up with like 12 different network adapters. How do I know which one i should install the driver for? Also where can i find the correct driver to install?
I should also note i set my pc back to a date which it was in 4 years ago since it was really slow and i wanted to improve its performance.
I searched all over the web to find solution to my problem but none of the solutions at hand worked. 1 solution was to change the properties on my "Local Area Connection" but i haven't even got "Local Area Connection" icon for some reason (i have never seen a computer not have this icon before". It is like my computer is completely not picking up the connection from the router and even worse its as if its repelling it...
Anyways, signed up to this forum to see if one of you guys could help out :).

Sorted it now. Had to go into BIOS and enable internet connection.

If you're sure that you have a Broadcom BCM57xx
device installed in the machine, then you should have a look at
"prtconf -pv" output, locate the Ethernet device, and check the
"vendor-id" / "device-id" property for the NIC.
If the Broadcom device is compatible with Sun's "bge" driver, you
can try to install an addition driver binding entry for your device,
using the update_drv(1M) command
update_drv -a -i '"pciVVVV,DDDD"' bge(where VVVV and DDDD is the pci vendor / device id found in
prtconf -pv output).

Surface Pro 3 / "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter"

Hi all,
I've been running the Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926) on my Surface Pro 3 successfully
since January. Unfortunately, I lost all internet connectivity today.
The problem started when I noticed the type cover wasn't working (pressing keys on the type
cover wasn't registering any typing on my screen) and my USB mouse wasn't working either. I tried removing and reattaching the type keyboard but this didn't fix the issue. I had to use the accessibility on-screen keyboard to sign into Windows (thankfully touch
was still working). Once I signed in, I still didn't have typing or cursor ability, so I decided to restart the computer.
Then it got worse. I noticed the Surface Pro 3 was stuck on "restarting" and wouldn't
actually restart. Since it wasn't responding, I held down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turned off. When I turned it back on, the type cover and mouse started working again.
Unfortunately, this is when the WIFI problems began. I had WIFI for a few seconds, and then
I lost internet. I disconnected/reconnected but there was a yellow triangle telling me there was some sort of problem. So I restarted the Surface Pro 3.
When it came back on, there were suddenly NO connections available at all. Opening the "Network
& Internet" settings page gave me the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter". And here I am, without internet on my Surface Pro 3, borrowing my friend's computer so I can type this message (he is also running
Windows 10 build 9926 on his laptop and is able to connect to my WIFI with no problems, whereas my Surface Pro 3 cannot even detect any networks). I have not dropped or damaged the SP3 in any way, and there have been no storms or power outages or anything
of that sort. Any ideas what could have happened to the WIFI on my Surface Pro 3?
Thanks for your help...
Ethan

Hi Ethan,
Currently, there are a few compatibility issue between the current hardware and Windows 10 Technical Preview (9926 build), this is mostly related to driver compatibility issue.
I suggest you download the latest network adapter driver package to install, when it is finished, check if it appears under Device Manager.
Surface Pro 3, Surface Pro 2, and Surface Pro firmware and driver packs
https://www.microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/networking-and-connectivity/install-wireless-drivers
You can check if you can install the latest firmware package for your device.
Here is an article to talk about such things:
Windows 10 January Technical Preview on Surface

How to install a flash drive?

How to install a flash drive?

If you simply mean a USB flash drive, or a USB hard drive. There should be no installation requirements. If the drive doesn't show up in Finder, you should check whether Disk Utility sees it, and whether the drive has a Mac readable filesystem. Disk Utility can be found with spotight if you do not know where it is.

Yoga 2 did not detect a properly installed network adapter

Woke up this morning, turned my yoga 2 on, no WiFi. So I used the troublsheeter and it told me there was no properly installed network adapter. Does that mean my wifi card is dead? Anyone else have an issue like this and find a solution (besides replacing a dead card?)
I did:
1) reinstalle drivers via usb from another machine
2) used a system restore point from a few days ago
Neither action had any effect.

Well I just set it to airplane mode and while I had no wifi it never told me that there was no network adapter cofigured.
Also, when you set it to airplane mode the wifi signal icon changes from bars to an airplane.
I think the adapter must have stopped working and then.. started working again. I can't figure out what else it could be.

"Failed to install network adapter - check WINBOM"

Hello,
two weeks ago my network adapter and my soundcard ran away. I brought the laptop to an IBM premium partner, where the mainboard was changed with a notice all would be ok, but with a hint of the service technican that I should try to recover; the problem is still not solved. Yesterday I recovered from a very old version, when the network adapter and sound card worked properly. Since then my sound card works, but only with cracks. That is of course not acceptable. The network card does not work anyway.
When I boot my laptop with the ACCESS IBM button I get an error message from FACTORY.EXE "Failed to install network adapter -- check WINBOM"
I checked them, but there is no factory.exe on my hdd, as well as there is no winbom.ini on my hdd. I only found the and empty entry winbom in the registry.
In the system manager there is no network adapter listed (instead of the wireless ones). No way to install one.
I do not know what to do now. May someone think there is a solution available for my thinkpad or should I sent it to IBM/Lenovo?
The machine is a T43p 2668 PEG.
Cheers,
Herwig
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Welcome to the forum!
I'm surprised that the Business Partner hasn't offered to re-install the OS for you, but then again it may be a local practice that I wouldn't be familiar with.
Try borrowing/downloading a copy of a "live" Linux CD (Mint works out of the box on any T43/p with ATi) and see whether the issues persist there.
If they do, hardware is defective and you'll need to send it back in for another repair.
If they don't, re-installing XP from scratch, after saving the important stuff on media, is the way to go IMHO.
Good luck and let us know.
Cheers,
George

Boot Camp Network Adapter Driver

I boot camped my mac successfully but couldn't download Apple's Support software(Not big enough flash drive). I thought I was fine but it turns out I need a Network Adapter Driver. Is my only solution getting a bigger Flash drive?
Or is there a place where I can get it seperatly as that is all I need I believe.
Thanks in advance.

I just bootcamped mine to windows 8 last night. It ran OK apart from the missing network adapter issue which I then re-ran bootcamp assistant with only the "download the latest Windows support software from Apple" checkbox ticked and saved it to a USB. The bootcamp files it added to the USB were in a folder that was only 512MB. Started up bootcamp Windows. ran the setup.exe from the USB and it fixed the network adapter issue no problems.

Wanted: 3com (Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI nic) network adapter driver

Hello.
I would like to get help for my problem. I have an old PC (Pentium III clone)that I'm trying to revive. It does not have any onboard network adapter but has a pci 3COM etherlink XL 10/100 . I tried getting the driver throught the internet but no luck. And a number of sites that I went through has an external download site and when I clicked it directs me to HP. I finally found a site that said that HP has acquired 3Com last 2010.
So my question is: does HP have a driver for my network pci adapter for Windows XP? If yes, can you possibly direct me the download page? thank you for any help on this request.

Hi:
See if this one works...

You may have to manually install the drivers.
I haven't disassembled the files to see how one needs to install the drivers. A lot of those old drivers don't automatically install and you have to install the drivers from the device driver update tab.

How to install Oracle ODBC driver...?

TOM,
Presently, I have oracle client version. But there no Oracle ODBC driver in my PC. But, I want to install only Oracle ODBC driver in my PC for ODBC Connectivity purpose.
How to install & where can get the source?

I found out the real answer!!!
On another thread there was a link to the client 10g installation. I download that 480Meg monster. Unzipped the package and launced the setup.exe.
You can then install just the ODBC using the custom option. But, it will not install the tnsnames.ora file. If you have ever done this from a VB app, copy the tsnnames.ora over to the \network\admin folder. It's usually under the oracle\product\client\10.0.2\ folder. Once installed you can launch the ODBC administer either from the link Oracle installs or from the control panel.
Next, you need to make sure the folders where the .dll file is readable to the iis. Change the folder to add whatever permission group you use for iis (I happen to have setup a local users group {machinename\users}. Add them to the entire folder structure (check the embedded folders to ensure they are readable).
While setting up the ODBC, the TSN names will now be listed from the tsnnames.ora file (if properly located). To make the connection work, the userid should be 'userid;pwd=password'. Otherwise the connection failed for me.
Now, if your connection works okay from the odbc test connection, it will probably fail if accessing through iis (like from a .asp page). There are environment path variables that need to be set. Reboot the server for them to get set. Otherwise you will get a ODBC driver can not be loaded do to system error 1114 message.

Apple itunes installed network adapter and wiped my wireless out

On Windows Vista x64, I tried to take the update for itunes and it said it failed, to try download only (which has not been working either for me over past year; I always have to uninstall and go to the site to download/install it myself). But my internet stopped working 5 days ago (my wireless adapter inside laptop cannot find any networks ever; nor did my ethernet connection work to overcome this) and my first line of defense was to use sys restore; low and behold, there was an entry for the time period it stopped working that "apple network adapter installed" but no matter which restore point I tried to use anywhere around that event, it always came back with errors and stated no changes were made; still no internet either.
I have uninstalled the hardware thru device manager and tried to let windows reinstall it with drivers, but that doesn't fix it either. I even downloaded onto a flash drive the original driver that has since been updated by Intel for my Intel Link 5100 wireless adapter, but still it will not work. The ethernet did start working once I installed the old original driver for it, but even last night I got the error while plugged into my router "limited connectivity" meaning no internet. I then tried uninstalling all apple programs and kept being blocked from doing so (sounded viral to me so I ran norton power eraser, spoke with support, even used couple other programs for spyware malware bootkit/rootkit etc). Now I finally got all the programs uninstalled, cleaned the registry, and still I cannot get the wireless adapter to work.
I have spent days on this issue, seeing other discussions over the past few years where this has happened before (an update with apple's network adapter installs and wipes out the actual hardware adapter) but each time it only affects certain models of wireless/ethernet adapters. Guess this update got mine. I am trying NOT to have to restore my computer to factory condition as it is over 2 years old and that will mean millions of updates to all microsoft programs, drivers, etc.
Does anyone have any ideas that will fix this? I can send you my specs if you need them.
Sheila

Thx for the suggestion, but this is the post I originally found and figured out what went wrong, However, as I stated in my question post, I have not only uninstalled, scanned for hardware changes (w/o reboot) and rebooted and watched windows install device drivers for both lan & wifi, yet the wifi absolutely will not work now. I have the ethernet working since installing the old original driver, and today I was able to actually get back up to the last wifi driver from intel I had before itunes wiped it out. But still no wifi. My intel program and intel's system checker I used on their website states:
WIRELESS NETWORKING INFORMATION
Wireless Networking Product
Intel® WiFi Link 5100
Driver Version
13.4.0.9
Intel PROSet/Wireless Version
not detected
Software/Driver Status
Newer Driver Available
Latest version available
13.5.0
Hardware IDs
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4232&SUBSYS_12018086&REV_00
and I can't get the Newer driver to install without errors stating it will not work with my ACer setup. But at least I got from v12.0.0.73 today to the one above. I reinstalled Itunes today hoping that would fix anything I'd removed and the version was like 10.3.x.x.x. Then I uninstalled from device manager & rebooted hoping wifi network adapter would start working again, but alas, no..
Hope someone can help me soon, cause I've run out of ideas.
