HP Envy lost network adapter

I think I have accidentally uninstalled the network adapter driver for my laptop. At the moment, it says that there are no network connections, but the internet connection for my phone is just fine. The driver does not seem to be anywhere on my laptop, and I have no disc (I'm pretty certain it didn't come with one, as it has no optical drive).
Please could you tell me how I can reinstall this driver when my laptop has no internet connection?
This question was solved.

HP ENVY Rove 20 - Network Adapter not showing after Windows 10 Upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 the Network Adapter does not show up. Verified in Device Manager that there is no issue and the driver is there. Removed the device from device manager, attempted to use a different driver, still no success.

Really disappointed in HP for not being ready for W10 rollout. I upgraded my HP Envy desktop PC 700-214 and after the upgrade, I could not connect to the internet. Didn't recognize the networking hardware. Went to HP Support (on different computer) and found out here aren't W10 drivers yet for this machine. Very Poor.My wife has a Dell laptop and we have another older Dell that upgraded no problem. Why because Dell is on top of their $__t when it comes to this stuff.Won't by HP again.Did you not try to reinstall the last support Drivers into Windows 10 to see if it works? Also with the lastest Windows HP will probably not support redoing drivers for older system as that will be cost prohibited to do. And it will be up to the Endusers to find the right drivers and software that matches their system to work with Windows 10 assuming they work with Windows 10. As to Dell that is something only Dell can answer that question and since we don't know if this is Dell Consumer or Business product since this falls outside of HP forums to discuss. You can't expect to have drivers if your system is too old to support Windows 10.

Trying to upgrade to 10.7 64 bit. Network adapter becomes disabled and drivers lost.

Network adapter drivers become disabled when I try to install 10.7. Windows 7 64 bit, McAfee anti-virus.

Fixed it. Reloaded the network card drivers after 10.7 install.

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...

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

Windows 7 x64 Network Adapter Stops working on high load

My Network has been failing and it has been happening for about a month or so on Windows 7 x64. I dont think that the system configuration is the problem as it is happening on 2 seperate machines. One being a relatively beefed up "white" box, 4 gig OCZ ram, EVGA nForce 790I SLI Mobo, Q9600 Quad core processor, dual raid 1 - 150 Gig Raptors, 2 8800GTX SLI cards, Pure Power 800W PS. The second machine is an IBM Netbook S10. I use the Netbook as a media center connected to a Pioneer Elite 1050HD. One thing is I have a PS3 and have several 1TB Esata drives connected to an IOGear 3132 Esata 3.0Gb pciX card to my desktop.
My typical usages:
1. FTP from a private server
2. Streaming music via Winamp
3. Streaming video 720, 1080 from pc to PS3 via the PS3 Media Server
4. DLing demos or movies on the PS3
5. Network streaming a movie from the Esata drives to the bedroom or kids rooms
6. Streaming video from abc.com or southparkstudios.com from the Cox cable modem
7. RDC over VPN to work machines
Now I have noticed that when I am streaming HEAVILY, from any 2 of the above mentioned, my network connections will simply stop working with a yellow exclamation mark on the task bar network icon after a few moments, nothing in the event logs, no logs or ANYTHING at all. It will simply stop working no notifications or anything poof, gone. I have EVERY single patch, driver anything I can think of installed. Nothing works, the timing is completely random. FYI I have a NETGEAR ProSafe VPN Firewall FVX538 with a cable modem connection on WAN 1 and a cellular connection on WAN2, these have no impact I feel on the connections because the PC may go down or the Netbook will go down depending on which one has the most load. So this simply tells me that it it not a firewall router problem as I have tried using a cisco unmanaged 24 port 1GB switch and I get the same problems. From analyzing the systems and layout I am led to believe that it is either a network adapter driver OR a Windows 7 problem (collisions, unhandled exception?), this NEVER happened with XP or Vista. I have tried everything but a new network adapter, I have tried the secondary adapter card on the mobo, I have tried bridging the two, I have tried daisy chaining the switch and putting each machine on its own dedicated switch linked to each other with no change. When the network goes down it is only that box effected, all other machines still connect to each other fine, only the one with load shuts down and the only ones that shut down are Windows 7. These machines are all wired with commercial cat5e patch cables, they have all been swapped for new ones lately. All networking and PC equipment are on UPS so I doubt voltage variations. Windows Firewall is disabled I only use the hardware firewall, I do not use any antivirus.
I am completely out of options, can anyone recommend a new route?
In addition when I go to the command prompt and attempt to do an ipconfig /release. I get an error saying that the adapter is not in a usable state. Very irritating, this forces me to reboot, or right click disable/enable on the network adapter. The right click route takes almost a minute to complete.
Tried update driver in nvidia control panel, no luck. I have also turned off the networking power saver option in the adapter settings.

Hi,
Considering this issue occurs on 2 different machines, I also think this issue may be more hardware related. You may also try the following:
1.    If the computers are connecting to a router, please ensure the router’s firmware is up-to-date.
2.    Please run the following command in an elevated command prompt in Windows 7:
netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
netsh int ip set global taskoffload=disabled
3.    Disable SNP in Windows 7 by setting Registry as following:
Note: Please perform a full-system backup first.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
EnableTCPChimney=dword:00000000
EnableTCPA=dword:00000000
EnableRSS=dword:00000000
If the keys do not exist, please create them and assign the value.
An update to turn off default SNP features is available for Windows Server 2003-based and Small Business Server 2003-based computers
4.    If the issue persists, please add another network adapter to this computer and see how it works.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Hi, I'm experiencing a simular problem here.
My PC was using Asus P5Q-E motherboard but exchanged it for Asus P5Q TURBO Pro because it loses 'connectivity ' after an interval between a few hrs to 26hrs. During this state, I can't browse or my Outlook to check emails. The only thing that can send/receive data is Vuze. Plus, the strange thing is that the network icon says there's nothing wrong at all (when it obviously there is). Even the currency desktop gadgets says the time elapsed since it 'lost connectivity '.
I initially thought P5Q-E was faulty so now I'm using the TURBO Pro. However, the problem still persisted.
I am using Win 7 Ultimate x64 with all the updates and drivers. Connected via LAN cable to the router and the firmware is the latest. My ISP sent me a replacement router to confirm that their equipment is not faulty, which is true.
I have tried the above methods 1-3.
Although I'm not sure if I implemented Method 3 correctly since I don't usually go to the registry but here's what it looks like after creating it:
EnableRSS   REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
EnableTCPA REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
EnableTCPChimey REG_DWORD   0x00000001 (1)
There are 3 more PC's and 1 laptop in the house. 2 PCs use Win XP, 1 uses Win 7 Ultimate x64 and laptop uses Linux Ubuntu.
My PC has a second OS, Linux Ubuntu, I used it to time trial both motherboards (before and after switching) and found no problems at all even after 48hrs, so it confirms it's not a hardware issue.
The other PC's apart from mine are connected wirelessly. As far as I've been told, they don't experience the same issue I have.
I've been trying to tackle this problem for months now and I'm frustrated to reboot my PC every time it 'loses connection '.
I chatted with Asus about the issue when I still had the P5Q-E mobo, they said that they built a simular system to mine with the same mobo and said they couldn't reproduce the problem I'm having. THey even tested on other mobos with the same LAN chip and found nothing wrong. That's why I got the TURBO Pro that has a different LAN chip.
Anyone got anymore suggestions???
Thanks in advance.

Network adapter diver for t43

Hello guys!
i reformated my hard drive and lost a Network adapter diver for t43.
WHERE CAN I FIND Network adapter diver for t43 TIN ORDER CONNET TO AN INTERNET?
Please advise
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
You did not mention the Type (model) of ThinkPad T43 you have or which operating system you installed on it, but I believe most—if not all—ThinkPad T43s have a Broadcom BCM57xx NetXtreme series Gigabit Ethernet network interface card in them. If that is the case with your ThinkPad, than the latest drivers are located here on Broadcom's support web site. If none of those work, try looking at the device drivers on this page of Lenovo's support web site.

Network adapter has to be reset after waking from sleep

Short version: When waking a T440s from sleep, there is no network connection, and the adapter must be reset in order to connect to our local network.
Long version: We're preparing to deploy Lenovo T440s's to our laptop users. After a WDS installation, the local network adapter works, as long as the computer has just booted, or doesn't go to sleep. Once the laptop goes to sleep, the network connection
is lost. I have to "diagnose" the issue to get the laptop to connect to the network again. During diagnosis, the only step that the troubleshooter reports doing is resetting the "local area connection" adapter.
Question: What is the actual process that is taking place when the adapter is reset? I would guess uninstall the device (like I would from device manager) and reinstall the device using the current drivers. While it's not an ideal solution, I could script
the process to run when the system wakes from sleep if we decide to use these laptops. At least, until I can find a better solution/driver.

How can i restore my connection.
Thanks

Hi,
According to the result of "ipconfig /all", the physical adapter dosen't appear.
Please check if the physical network adapter works properly. We can verify this in Device Manager.
To open Device Manager by using the Windows interface
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Click Device Manager.
If the network adapter is working properly, please make sure that the Internet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) has been checked in the properties of the physical network adapter.
If issue persists, please try to uninstall the Oracle Virtual box.

SQL error: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connec

Hi,
I am sure this question has been asked a million times and maybe i haven't searched the forum enough.
But here's the situation. I haven't used oracle too much. So I am not too familiar with data-source and what not..
I downloaded the latest version of oc4j(standalone) a few days back. I am trying to get the Oc4j j2eehome/demo/ormap to work .
I deployed the application manually by editing server.xml and http-web-site.xml files...
But i get this error
SQL error: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I have no clue what that is..
I know its got to do with the bean not connecting to the Database. Do i need to download the oracle database server too.. The documentation says something about the cloudscape database.. Well basically i am lost..
Any information will be very helpful.
regards
-amit

Hi Amit --
This exception means that the container can't connect to the database instance to which it has been directed to use.
If you are using the ormap demo, then this is an entity bean based sample and will need a database.
The database configurations are stored at the server level in the j2ee/home/config/data-sources.xml file. In this file you will see entries that define a datasource using a set of "locations", provides details on where the database instance (host, port, sid) and what the logon details are.
For the container, a default-data-source is defined (ie one to use if no others are supplied) in the j2ee/home/config/application.xml.
<orion-application autocreate-tables="false"
default-data-source="jdbc/OracleDS">
To make it work simply, make sure that you have a datasource named jdbc/OracleDS defined in the data-sources.xml file (which should be there as a template) and that the connection details for it point to a valid database instance and user.
cheers

14z-v000 LAN Network adapter missing

Realtek LAN Network Adapter is missing and i'm unable to reinstall it. I tried to reinstall the Realtek LAN Driver but it keeps telling me "Realtek Network Controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug Cable." Also the same message occurs when I try and reinstall the Realtek Network Controller Driver. I have attempted to restore to a previous time when I had the Ethernet Adapter and the LAN connection was working. Note that i do have access to the internet through the Wireless network adapter and wireless network but in device manager I'm completely missing the adapter for the Realtek LAN Connection. Even when I plug in a Ethernet cord into the computer through the port on the side, it still doesn't detect any sort of activity. Both the orange and white lights are always on even if unpluged.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a terrific place to find answers and tips!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide. Learn How to Post and More I understand that you have lost your network capability on your notebook and are unable to do a restore back to when it was working. You are unable to install drivers for the LAN devices. Have you checked for viruses and malware? MS Malicious Software Removal Tool Would you do this step, which will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them. Go to the command prompt and run as administrator. Press Windows key +C to open charms.Type command prompt in the search bar.Right click and run as administrator.Type sfc /scannow and press enter.Once this completes restart your notebook and repeat this process once more. Now open Device Manager and show hidden devices, if the network adapters are not showing scan for hardware changes. Next you can try a HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8). This will reinstall the operating system and should not affect your personal files. If the network adapters are still not listed in the Device Manager, I would test the network adapter for a hardware failure. HP Notebook PCs - Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). Network should be listed under the component test in the UEFI which is the one you want to utilize. If for any reason that options is not available or the adapter is not recognized, if warranty is not a concern you can try reseating the network card. The next step would be to try a recovery back to factory.HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8) During the recovery there is an option to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. If you have not already done a backup I suggest you do one now. HP PCs - Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8) You can contact HP support for assistance or repair options at any time.Please contact HP support at Contact HP Support If you are not in warranty and you determine a repair is necessary you may also consider a local repair shop.

Indesign Lost network connection of open database

good day
The Indesign is stopping with this error.
Lost network connection of open database
How to solve this problem?
Message was edited by: jcnet

Hi, I discovered in (Win 7 & 8 I assume) that if you go into your network adapter settings and click 'Configure' then go to the 'Power Management' menu there is an option to 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power'. I unchecked this and now no more crashing with the network connection lost error. Not sure it will work for everyone but might be the solution for some.

Windows 10 and MarvellYukon Network Adapter not responding properly

With W10 preview the "Marvell Yukon Network-Adapter" does not work properly.
It destroys the ethernet-integrity (some nodes are not shown on other computers anymore when W10 is up) und the network speed is about a few kilobits!
RDP connection to W10 machine will lost unexpectedly! It seems to be a massive driver problem.

Server 2012 R2 - The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter

We seem to be having an issue recently after introducing new Windows Server 2012 R2 servers where they fail to register DNS correctly. The Windows Firewall is off and the servers are on the same VLAN with no firewalls between them.
When I do an ipconfig /registerdns or wait 24 hours for the system to try we get the following error:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
Adapter Name : {4A0ECF05-193F-4BEA-AA46-BEC593BA752B}
Host Name : SRV-DATA
Primary Domain Suffix : internal.local
DNS server list :
192.168.0.50, 192.168.0.42
Sent update to server : <?>
IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.99
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the DNS server contacted refused the update request. The reasons for this might be (a) you are not allowed to update the specified DNS domain name, or (b) because the DNS server authoritative
for this name does not support the DNS dynamic update protocol.
To register the DNS host (A or AAAA) resource records using the specific DNS domain name and IP addresses for this adapter, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
On our DNS server we have set for the internal.local zone Secure Updates only so that looks good because it is Active Directory that should be handling this authentication to update the record I assume. Just to mention that when also doing an ipconfig /regsiterdns
the update fails within a few seconds.
Source: DNS Clients Events
Event ID: 8018
User: NETWORK SERVICE
This issue is only affecting Windows Server 2012 R2 clients and testing with Windows Server 2008 R2 clients works no issues. So is this a mis-configuration or a bug with Windows 2012 R2? I have checked all DNS settings on client / server which all look good
to me so reaching out now to see if anyone has any ideas?
Environment:
- Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Forest/Domain Levels 2012 R2)

Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter not working on Windows 7 64bit

As the title suggests, my laptop (Alienware m17x) is installed with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter and Windows 7 64bit Home Premium. I have had several other driver incompatibility issues with Windows 7, but those I have slowly been able to resolve. This however just cropped up after two months of successful use. Yesterday it started failing to connect to the internet, telling me that no wireless connections are available. I live in a dorm, and everyone else on my floor has successful wireless, including my Ipod Touch, PS3 and XBox 360. I called Alienware/Dell Support and we spent hours trying to fix the problem and all look well until I rebooted my laptop this morning and the same issue reappeared. When I reboot my laptop, all I get is a notification that no networks appear in range. If I uninstall the broadcom chip and let windows install it after a boot up it works until the machine is rebooted a second time. I have tried over a dozen windows 7 drivers for the chip, and about half a dozen vista drivers and they all have the same results, works on the first boot, fails every time after that

Just registered to say, on an Alienware M17x system as well running Windows 7 Ultimate, here is a link to a solution that worked exactly for me:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/436486-guide-properly-solve-wireless-connection-problems-m17x.html
All I did was section I.a. If the link is down, I copied the only section that I needed to follow out of this guide, in order to get my wireless to work repeatedly without having to uninstall the wireless driver every single reboot. Now it works perfectly,
already connected to a wireless network on startup.
I.a. Disable Device sleep on disconnect
Some newer Nvidia Ethernet drivers have a feature called Device sleep on disconnect. This is the culprit. Normally, it should only put the Ethernet adapter to sleep when the cable is disconnected, but it's buggy and thus kills the wireless connection as
well.
Follow these steps to disable this feature on your Nvidia Ethernet Adapter:
1. Open the Windows Device Manager by hitting Win+Pause, then click on Device Manager on the left side.
2. Double-click on Network adapters.
3. Double-click on NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller (yes, that's the wired Ethernet adapter indeed).
4. Click on the Advanced tab.
5. Select Device sleep on disconnect.
6. Set the Value to Disabled.
7. Click OK and wireless should work again (might require a reboot afterwards, but probably not).
