Computer not connecting to internet
#1
Last sunday my laptop running windows 7 gave me a blue screen error which I dismissed. After I restarted and about 20 minutes into using it I could not connect to the Internet. I verified that the problem was my computer after attempting to connect to multiple wifi networks. It does connect but returns "Limited Access" when I hover over the current network. When I check the network status it shows that 0 packets are being sent and received. It also appears that the two network adapters in use are VMware. Should that be default for my computer? I only know VMware as the virtual machine I installed some time ago. The network diagnosis found that "There might be a problem with your network adapter and it's driver." or something along those lines. Do you think the blue screen error was due to a failure in one of my wireless network drivers/adapters? How do I fix this problem? I also did memory diagnostics and startup repair from my windows 7 disk which did nothing. The sfc /scannow completed and there were no integrity violations. My active connections are Hamachi, Local area connection(Broadcom virtual wireless adapter)(X), VMware1, VMware2, Wireless Network Connection(DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Hald-Mini Card), and Wireless Network Connection 2(Microsoft virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter)(X). The (X) means that there's a red X over the connection icon. Diagnosis for the first wireless network connection and local area connection showed that there was a problem with the driver for the adapter, which windows failed to repair. There was no diagnosis option for wireless network connection 2. It also appears that my Ethernet Controller and PCI Simple Communicatoons Controller are not installed, if that means anything. It showed that as an error when I attempted to update my network adapters(Device driver software was not successfully installed).
