[SOLVED] I can't access the internet on my pc (network adapter)

[matt123987]

It was working, I changed out my mobo for a z590 a pro and after my network adapter (in device manager) wasn't working I deleted it in the device manager but never got it back after a restart. I have tried a number of solutions but none have worked. I download the lan drivers for the mobo but said I still need to install a intel Ethernet package and at this point I am truely stuck, please any advice would be helpful thanks.

So the adapter isn't detected in Windows?
I'd inspect the contacts on the card and the slot for anything weird.
I would also try some different slots.
If it still wasn't detected....I would try it in another machine and if it still wasn't detected I think it may be toast.

Sorry I should of been more clear I was using a ethernet connection straight into the mobo, no wifi cards of anything.

If the network circuitry is part of the MB...then I would go into the BIOS and look around in there for anything that might possibly disable it.

If I didn't fins anything I would power down and pull the CMOS battery out for a few minutes to reset the BIOS and try it again.

If you can't find anything in the BIOS...I would reset it.

One way to reset it is by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes.

There may be other ways to reset it as well.

What model MB?
