Windows 7 on Lenovo E525 Thinkpad - connect to Internet

mopepom · May 9, 2014

I recently used a free malware removal program to "clean up" my polluted Windows 7 Lenovo Thinkpad E525. Result: I can not connect to Internet either by Ethernet or wireless through my Bell 275 router (DSL).

I think I have to re-configure the network parameters within Windows 7. I am very rusty on the specifics of this job. Can Major Geeks help?

I am communicating to this forum on my iPad and thus I can follow detailed configuration instructions that are sent to me via this forum. I can exercise the Widows machine as required by your instructions.

I hope you can help.

Regards,

Mopepom

Scroll down until you see the Networking drivers

Ethernet, you probably need the 2nd driver
Realtek Giga LAN Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)
Install that, connect a wire and see if it works. Then on the same page again, directly below Wireless LAN click on the link "Can't figure out what is your Wireless LAN adapter? Click here" so you get help figuring out what wireless device is in your E525.

Thanks Plodr,

I followed your instructions, using a USB data device to download the driver and then load it into my UN-connected Windows7 machine.

I checked the Ethernet driver and the wireless driver, to make sure they were correctly installed.

Unfortunately, no change - I can not connect from my Win 7 Lenovo Thinkpad E525.

I think I have to reset the network parameters in the Windows 7 machine, but this is currently beyond my scope.
