Installing a network on pc.

[stevo as b4]

I've just managed to wipe my hard drive and install Windows 7 again finally. However I now need to reinstall my broadband connection to my router.

Its all plugged in, but it's not seeing any networks or router's. What do I need to do next, is it a disc required that came with the router?

What's plugged in? Do you have a wired connection to your router, or wireless?

Some screenshots of these would help:

Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections

Device Manager \ Network adapters

cmd -> ipconfig /all

problem will be either network adapter driver or network configuration settings
very much doubt it will have anything to do with your router or software that came with it (if any)

A standard install of an Ethernet based network card should setup IP V4 with all the necessary protocol, services and settings to use with most standard wired routers. Once the driver is installed, it should just be plug the cable in and go.

If you use a wired connection, it sounds like the Ethernet card driver isn't installed. Look for an "Other devices" category in Control panel or an exclamation mark over the Ethernet adapter under Network Adapters in Control Panel.

Thanks bcf techies for all the replys and advice!

I've got it sorted now, I managed to find the Intel disc and that had all the drivers and missing programs or adapters on.

Back in the game with Windows 7, it's so simple and easy to use just how I like it. After 5months without a fully working pc, I'd just like to say a big fuckyou very much to Windows 10 tho!
