Do I need a network card?

I have a Dell Ispirion 530 desktop running Windows Vista Home Basic... I'm stationed in the basement of our House... my dad has one internet ADSL connection shared through a hub (?) with my computer of brothers... my question is this: how it is too far to connect a cable to the floor and down... I can possibly attatch a network card on my desk and return on its existing connection?  If this isn't... What do I do?  Thank you for your time.

  • Cannot get internet access because I need a network card driver?

    I'm having a devil of a time trying to find how do I down load a NIC on a flash drive can I install it on my laptop Acer 5253 which will not let me connect to the wifi. I can download the drivers from the web, but not on a usb key then I can plug it into the laptop. I can't get on internet with the Acer laptop so Microsoft can not analyze the problem, and Acer will not even talk to me because the laptop is out of warranty. I am because of my wits end I have no intelligence of the computer. Can anyone help?

    Why do you think 'I can download drivers on the web, but not on a key usb then I can plug it into the laptop"?

    This is the right way to do it.

    The Acer Aspire 5253 download page has two NIC drivers wireless, one for a card equipped with a chip Atheros and the other for a card equipped with a Broadcom chip.

    I'm not familiar with how Acer does things; It is possible that if you go here and enter the serial number or SNID Acer, you can get a description of the hardware installed in your particular unit--> http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/system-information

    Otherwise,.

    • Open Device Manager (click the start ORB, type device manager in the start search box and press enter).
    • Expand the "Network adapters" section and look at the entry for your wireless adapter.  You should be able to determine if you have an Atheros or Broadcom device by looking at the name.
    • If the name does not help, even on the 'Détails' tab, go to the Details tab, select "Hardware ID" in the drop-down list and post back with the first line up where 'SUBSYS' starts.  If you have Windows 7, you can right click > copy these data

    Example: PCI\VEN_14E4 & DEV_16B1& SUBSYS_96B11849 & REV_10

    Ensure the bold part

    If you have Windows 7 and have an Atheros device, download this driver --> http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Atheros_9.2.0.439_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634601180335904424&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%205253&OS=712&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

    If you have Windows 7 and have a Broadcom device, download this driver --> http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Wireless%20LAN/Wireless%20LAN_Broadcom_5.100.82.87_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634605483323458996&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%205253&OS=712&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

  • Need to find a driver for NETWORK card for my P7-1010

    I had a few difficulties to connect to my cable company and they said that it's maybe because I didn't install the necessary NETWORK card driver. That sounds wrong and if so, where can I find 'he'... or all the other drivers, I may need. Is there a central database driver? PS - I am born a Mac person and due to costs and conditions of work ended up on a PC... and I've had hundreds of issues with both platforms... but less Apple... so do not hate the user ID

    For what operatng system you need the NETWORK card driver for?

  • need driver for network card

    I need the network card driver for my desktop sff EVO 510 with XP pro, Ive tried the HP/Compaq downloads and none of these work

    Ok

    First of all, the reference of the material for your PC manual does not display on page 8 network connections (even if there are drivers available).

    http://bizsupport2.Austin.HP.com/BC/docs/support/SupportManual/c00706603/c00706603.PDF

    So I guess than some models had delivered with network cards and some did not and maybe yours was the one who did not and that a NIC has been added later? In addition, all of the drivers listed are for models Gigabit (1000 Mbps) while yours seems to be only 100Mbs.

    Can you confirm that the network connection is not part of the plate of e/s of the motherboard, but actually a supplement to the map.

  • NETWORK card not detected after installing ESXi 4.1?

    Hi all

    I installed the ESXi Server 4.1 on a single server with the following configurations,

    CPU = Intel (R) CPU Xeon X 3430 @ 2.40 GHz

    Memory = 16GB

    NIC = Intel 82574 L Gigabit Network connection-2 no

    After that ESXi installation a NIC card not detected. But two cards network is the same configuration. Due to this problem, I can not configure grouping of NETWORK cards. Please suggest me. Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    On the screenshot that you are using a motherboard Intel S3420GP. Just a NETWORK card is 82574L, the other on board is a 82578DM, which is not supported. So you will need additional network cards.

    See you soon,.

  • safe to remove the vSwitch network card?

    I have two physical cards separate currently connected to the Console of my Service vSwitch.  I need a network card for something else temporarily.  Is is safe to simply remove the desired nic from the switch Console of service without stop?

    NO.

    Since then, you never know Connectivity Service Network (I.P.) Console goes through which of them. ESX can schedule her on any of them (i.e. According to active/standby used setting).

    If you have selected the wrong one you will lose your connectivity to ESX i.e. no SC.

    The best way to go is to check the physical switch, to which of these two ports of the Service Console mac is currently visible and traffic passing through (check ip SC)

    Then you can delete the other the first standby (leaving the other as active of course) and then finally removing.

  • What network cards do I need

    What network cards I need to run a high-speed dsl connection if I don't need to be on a network?

    You should contact your supplier of access and knowledge, but none on shelf NIC should work given that most modern cards are supported 100 MB to 1 GB transfer rate.

  • Compaq Mini 110 c-1103SO: need drivers for network cards after upgrade to Win 8.1

    Woman's cell phone upgraded from XP to Win 8 Pro.  All set up, all the upgrades installed etc. disappeared.  Everything was fine, even got most of its programs to operate correctly and not had any problem with the internet.  Then fed Microsoft forces the OS update to 8.1 (PRO) and she lost contact to the internet.

    No other device have problems with our home WLAN, regardless if they are connected by a wireless router or cable.  The newly improved PC connects to the router, wired and wireless, but the connection is 'limited' and gives no net access.  Even when you try a portable WiFi connection with a Tablet, the connection remains limited.

    Contacted support technique microsoft: they claim 8.1 kernel is so different from 8.0 that the drivers on the PC no longer compatible (even if winning 8.1 was happy enough to re - install while improving...).  They also claim to be unaware that it even all compatible drivers are available for the cards we have.  This is their desire to 'help' ended and they told me to contact the manufacturer of the PC for those compatible.

    Network cards are: Broadcom 802.11 g network card and Qualcomm Atheros AR8132 PCI - E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30).

    What are the specifications for the drivers, I need and where can I get them?  Given that the affected device has no internet connection, I obviously need to download the drivers to another PC and transfer them using a memory stick.

    Grateful for the help earlier - wife is not very happy...

    You are the very welcome.

    Glad you were able to solve the problem by upgrading the equipment.

  • 10 windows and error network adapter need to install my network card

    A week or two after the installation of Windows 10, my PC started to operate erratically while giving me several different error messages. Finally, I realized there was a problem with the network card. After I re-installed each time my frustration forced me to go back to Windows 7, which has worked very well since. But I still have a message on my machine that I need to install my network card. (When I try, I always get the message that "the solution can be downloaded at this time.") I would go to Windows 10 but do not want to encounter the same problem. Someone has an answer to what is the problem?

  • Need advice with card problem mother strange network card.

    I have a question that is probably some kind of motherboard or power supply problem.
    The card connects with 72.2 Mbit for my wireless router mbit and 100 with the Integrated NIC.

    Right now I have bars of 4 out of 5 on the scale of connection and the router just outside the door, but when I try the card against the bredbandskollen.se it never give me more then 4 Mbps download and upload of 16-20. For now, it's 1.6 Mbit download and 8 Mbits upload both with radio and network card.

    All other computers on the network will download speed normal 25-55, laptops and other Pavilion with GFX and solid power supply.

    I even went up to buy a wireless extension, which can also be used with the thread, but the problem still there never more then download 4-5 Mbps.

    I have warranty still, but I feel stupid about the problem because the card is connected with the right speed to the network.

    But the rate of download and upload is far away.  And I'm sure that they will conclude that it is connected to good speed when they try against a router, but that's all the download and upload that seem to simply broken. I reinstalled OS even tried other external wireless card but the problem persists.

    Would it be the 500-112 eo with a graphics card hogging the PSU, well she was offered with this card, but the motherboard is basically a small size for laptops?

    Anyone else having a similar problem with the 500-112eo Pavilion

    I should let him return for service, and what could cause this kind of strange problem?

    Hey well today about 2-3 months after the end of the one year warranty, I'll watch some hockey. When I look at computer it seems stop by itself. Strange, I think push button / stop and here a big bang when the flaky PSU finally had enough.

    I don't know what to say that it is a shame that HP sells undersized PSU:s in their computers. I knew from the start that there was something strange going on because of the bad connection Wifi, and how it seemed dependent on how many USB devices.

    I was smart enough to not send it to HP technicians, it probably saved me 100 euros. Because they would be claimed I had a faulthy complain and charged me. How can you prove there are issues of power.

    I'm just glad the monitor didn't die with the 500-112eo pavilion, because it looked like a shot and took the fuse 10amp in the room with her. Tried to move the HARD drive to the external firm to save a date he sounds like a sound signal in agony and refuse to spinn upward.

    So I guess that the PSU has HARD drive, mothercard, UC and memories with her on his farewell greatness.

    3 years and I would not protest, but 15 months HP should be ashamed of the technician putting this motherboard with this PSU and even more to sell the thing for 500 euros.

    Shame on you.

  • Vostro 460 found network card Code 31 need to reboot 3 to 4 times

    I have 10 Vostro 460 s, network cards themselves not at startup.  You must restart the systems 3 - 4 times to get Windows to find network cards.  All the drivers are up to date.  This may be related to a Windows update, because the machine were very good for a month or two until an update is released.

    We have the same problem.  3 of the 11 Vostro 460 lack of NIC I totally agree with jason629. Call Dell for a new MB or get a new network card. I spent hours and hours to try to update the bios/driver, restart, unplug, reset MB, shaking. I ended up getting new network cards.

    Disappointed. Quailty of Dell is downhill.

  • need for server 2008r2 Pavilion p7-1000 network card driver of (tried win7 drivers N.G.)?

    Hello

    I'm trying to install the server 2008r2 on the HP Pavilion p7-1000, has four cores amd 64 bit cpu, 8 GB ram, 1 TB hard drive.   For some reason I can't seem to locate the drivers for the NIC realtek.  Of course, I'm pressed and trying to accomplish something in a single day.  And many other things at the same time.  I never thought that this Server 2008 would have a problem with a common network card.

    Someone has a direct link to a kind of driver that works with this?  I tried to go to the realtek, and perhaps I simply downloaded the wrong software.  But what I 'As' on their part, did not work.  I tried a "auto-install" program, but also what I THOUGHT it was the real Server 2008 drivers for the network card.

    Thanks for advice and guidance
