Cannot connect to lan

[rabeta]

As you can guess, i am on anther computer at the moment.

The problem is I have just formatted my hard drive and backed up all I thought I needed to. However, now i try to connect to my router (through a wire) I cannot, and the local area connection icon does not even appear in the network connections folder. The device is under other devices in the device manager I think, and is said to be a network controller. There is a problem with it it says. It says that there is no driver. The trouble is that I cannot get the driver through the Windows wizard as the internet is down, and I cannot find the drivers on the 3com website.

I would appreciate some help, thanks

Google and download Everest Home edition, install it on your machine. Check the exact make and model of the Network card by running Everest. Post it here.

I have downloaded Everest and then tried to look for the network card but I cannot find it, but there is a network adapter under unknown devices, here is a screenshot with the info about it:

You are looking at the wrong place. Click on PCI/PNP network too if you can't see it under Windows network.

Don't worry about it Sid actually, it took me a while, but I got it working. I just had to download the PRO2KXP with the driver and it worked...thanks you very much for your help...reps

No problems, keep the Everest installer, handy program to have.
