Lost Network Adapter

    Tried to sign onto the internet recently on my other computer and got the message "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver."

    Tested the ethernet cable and it tests OK. Reset all of the network adapters. The only network adapters visible in the device driver drop down are the WAN Miniport drivers.

    The other computer on the router has Realtek network adapters in the device driver drop down and that is the one I am reporting this problem on.

    Not sure what has happened or what to do next.

    Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    If you want help on locating a driver for the wireless adapter in the "other computer", you need to supply a) the brand b) the exact model and c) the version of Windows on it as well as 32 bit or 64 bit.
