Need a bit more information.

Did it just suddenly start showing this way?
Connected at a new location, Wireless, Wired...
New Install of Windows?

Also, please fill in your specs so can better help you if it is a driver issue.
We need to know what hardware you have.

No my computer wasnt working so we got it fixed and when we did it had an x meaning no internet but then i installed VirtualBox to see if a connection would come up and then it came up unidentified network it is a ethernet connection and upgraded from xp to vista to windows 7 because when the man fixed it he put in a new os vista and that didnt have a local area connection driver on it so i thought if i upgraded it will come up but it didnt.

Ok, Im assuming this is a pre-built computer?
Such as a HP, Compaq, Dell?

If so, what Brand is it and can you find a model number?

The model number may be located somewhere on the front of the case, or possibly on a sticker somewhere.

The screen is philps and the driver thing is iqon and the code is one of these not sure which one
: 130411001 ESB01
00043-561-630-194
do you want the product key ??
thanks

 

[Wishmaster]

No, not your product key. Do not give that to anyone.


What Im asking for is if it is a Dell,Compaq, Asus etc at what model it is.

For example, a Compaq SR1650Nx or a Toshiba Satellite T230

There should be a sticker that states:
Model#.....

or it could be a number on the case itself somewhere.

-- looks as if iQon is out of business getting drivers might be a bit tricky.
Can you DL Speccy (link in my sig) from another PC, maybe save to a flash drive, and install it to the PC in question?

Run it and go to Network Tab and see what type of ethernet adapter you have.

We need the name of the company that made your computer and any model number on the computer. Note, these will be printed on the computer itself.

For those asking what the computer is,

ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Desktop - Pundit-R

and as far as a driver for the onboard NIC, good luck. I went ahead and downloaded the chipset drivers for it from Asus, and after looking in the INF for it it is an old 3Com NIC and the driver is dated from 2002. It lists support for 20-30 or so different DevID's, and i doubt that you'll find a driver for it.

As I said in your other thread, at least as far as this computer goes you would be better off sticking to XP until such a time as you have a new computer that is actually capable of running Windows 7. If you still want to run Windows 7 (Aero is a lost cause), instead searching high and low for a driver for the onboard ethernet it would be much easier to grab something like this,

Newegg.com - AZiO AES100a 10/ 100Mbps PCI Ethernet Adapter 1 x RJ45

only $6.00 plus shipping, and it does have Windows 7 drivers,
