I originally was working with the Malware staff and was sent here. I ran all the recommended software and suddenly got an error message after rebooting. This is my last post with them:

Internet still not working but after computer restarted from Winsock I received a Service Control Manager message box. It said:

At least one service or driver failed during setup. Use event viewer to examine the event log for details.

The event viewer showed(under system logs)

"Adapter Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Adapter Link down" warning.

I have attached copies of the event viewer screens as word documents if that helps.

I have never seen that message prior to running winsockXPFix and I must have restarted the computer 100 times since the problem started.

Event ID: 4, Source: E100B may indicate bad/unplugged ethernet cable (try another one), or corrupt ethernet driver (reinstall).

Changed network cable and downloaded and installed updated driver, still no internet. However there is a PCI driver missing. Please see device manager windows attached. There is no name on the PCI Bus so I'm not sure were to go to download a driver for it.

1. Open Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager)
2. The hardware whose drivers are missing will appear as Unknown device, so it's easier to locate the device.
3. Right click on the unknown device and click on Properties.
4. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Id from the drop down box.
5. You should see a code similar to this

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
&REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0

6. The portion of the code highlighted in RED is the Vendor ID and the portion highlighted in GREEN is the Device ID. In this example:

Vendor ID = 8086
Device ID = 27DC

What do you have there?

Not driver details button, but Details tab.

My version of windows doesn't appear that way. My 3 tabs are General, Driver, and Resources. The "Driver Details" button I am referring to is on the "Drivers" tab. I can't save the print screen file as a jpg on this computer to post it. Is there another format I can attach it in.

OK. There is no connection, then.
Tell me more about your setup....
What type of connection is it?
Desktop, or laptop?
Wired, or wireless connection?
Any router involved?

It's actually a server for a very small network, 3 other pc's hooked up. It is connected to a belkin router through a netgear prosafe 16 port 10/100 switch. The belkin router is in turn hooked into a SMC Router. ISP is Comast cable. All other PC's have internet access and communicate with server. I have Packet 8 VOIP phone service running through switch with no problems either

If I were you, I'd just spend $10-$15, and I'd get network card. It may save a lot of investigation time.
