Connection problems

[Sterling]

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:

Uninstall the the adapter form device manager and reboot and let windows redetect and reinstall the adapter

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
