    Connection problems


    Well the problem is that i can not connect to an internet. It says
    there is no connection available...
    When i try to detect what is the problem:

    Windows network diagnostics
    Thw ''Local area connection'' is experiencing driver or hardwer
    related problems..

    Problems found:
    The ''Local area connection'' adapter is not working properly - Detected

    When i go on detection details:

    Details about network adapter diagnosis:
    Description................Atheros L2 fast ethernet 10/100 base - T controller
    Manufacturer..............Atheros
    Provider.....................Microsoft
    Version......................2.6.7.23

    - and some other stuff that i belive are irrelevant.

    When I go to RUN , write cmd, and ping 192.168.1.1
    it says:

    Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data

    Ping: transmit failed. General failure.
    Ping: transmit failed. General failure.
    Ping: transmit failed. General failure.
    Ping: transmit failed. General failure.

    Sent = 4, Recived = 0, Lost = 4 (100%)

    My internet service provider says that it must have been something
    with my windows.
    I am using wierd connection, and every cabel is plugged in...It all
    worked perfectly on Windows XP (service pack 3)
    I am using 32-bit Windows 7 final, with proper serial code.

    My system configuration is as following:

    Processor: Pentium Dual-core CPU E5200 @ 2.50 GHz 2.50 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 2,00 GB

    Device manager:
    Network adapters:
    Atheros L2 fast ethernet 10/100 base -t controller - this driver
    is working properly
    Other devices
    Unknown device - the driver for this device are not installed (code 28)
    USB network interface - the driver for this device are not
    installed (code 28)

    If you will need any more additional informations about my machine message me on

    Thank you.

    So basically i should uninsall my network adapter driver, reboot and my windows should be able to detect my missing driver and installed it on his own?

    Well i guess that would help if i had a connection on going so he can download the missing driver...but the trickey part is that driver that probably is not working properly is that for internet, so is it possible for him to download and install that driver on his own?

    Upgrade Issue


    This issue was caused by the upgrade if the adapter is not working properly I would uninstall it and reinstall windows may do it on it's own or you may have to download the right driver for windows 7 and that machine
