sorry about that but this is whats hapening since i did the reformat two problems didnt mean any harm sorry cheers take care

Re: drivers
 

ok what are the problems? you know what you have done dont you. The drivers are not installed for your network adapter thats why you cant get the net unless you use ethernet to connect just the modem?

Re: drivers
 

everything works fine when the router is not connected ,i did a scan and my drivers need updateing ,sorry cant help you anymore i dont know what to do thats why i need your help please thanks again take care

Re: drivers
 

What drivers does it say need updating? Is this a branded PC or a home build?

Re: drivers
 

I certainly wouldn`t be surprised if a whole load of drivers were missing zing but surely if the LAN/NIC drivers were missing they wouldn`t have any network connection...regardless of using modem/router?
Or am i missing something?

@roy
Can you check your device manager to see what drivers are missing,if any?
Then you can do what zing suggested and go chase them up with the help of everest.

Re: drivers
 

roy do you connect the modem to the pc the same way as when you connect the modem to the router?

Re: drivers
 

Thanks lads I got a cable modem with a ethernet cable going strait to the Pc. from it ,when the router is connected the cable from the modem goes to the internal port of the router and then an ethernet cable to the P.C. ,as for the drivers the scan said I needed quite a few i went to everest but i am lost there dont know which to choose sorry lads i am useless with these P.C. hope you can solve my problems cheers lads

Re: drivers
 

right click my computer and select properties then select device manager. How many warnings are there

Re: drivers
 

How is the router connected? To connect a router to a VM cable modem, you need to do the following:

1. Unplug the modem from the mains.
2. Plug the Ethernet cable from the modem to the Internet/WAN port (on most routers, this port is seperate from the others) on the router.
3. Power the modem up. Wait for the lights to settle.
4. Power the router up.
5. Connect one of the LAN ports on the router (there are normally four grouped together) to the Ethernet/LAN port on the PC.
6. Power the PC up.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Re: drivers
 

this problem has been spread over a few threads now its all going to get confusing

do you have a printer a scanner or webcam or anything else connected to the usb. In theory the reinstall you have done being a back up one from the oem should have all the machines drivers installed

Re: drivers
 

i did that thats why i am back on here ,i went into the device manager and i dont know what i am looking for but there was something about PCI serial port drivers not installed does that help cheers
