You need to provide information about your computer, this includes is it a laptop or desktop, is it a custom build or brand name such as Dell or HP, if it is provide the model name or series number (not serial) providing these details will enable others to better assist you.
Things you can do 1: Download the Network Adapter drivers to a thumbdrive using another computer 2: Uninstall the device and the device drivers, reboot and let the Hardware Wizard install the device 4: Install the device drivers.
Post back with your computer details so we can look for the drivers you will need.

okay, it says :
The file `e100b325.sys` on intel PRO Network Connections CD-Rom or floppy disk is needed.
Type the parth the file is located , and then slick OK.
And it only gives me the choice of 4 different areas where it says that the files are but not the thub drive that im trying to get it off of.

Can you open the thumb-drive and copy (drag and drop) the drivers to your desktop then install them from there.

If you do not follow the above procedure you will get driver conflicts.

There is a possibility that this is a hardware and not a software issue, this will mean opening the case to check the device which by the way I am sure you have noticed is listed as Unknown in the Device Manager, while the case is open the opportunity should be taken to clean out any heat trapping dust, see my canned speech on how to do this safely but include the Lan card;
If the computer needs cleaning out, first remove the power cord from the wall and open up the case, take anti static precautions before touching anything inside, you can do this by touching a bare metal part of the case, remove the video card, blow out the slot and re-seat the card securely, do the same with the memory sticks, clean all internal fans, if you use canned compressed air do not let any fan spin freely this can damage them, use something like a clean lollipop stick to hold the fan.
Make sure all internal connections are secure and that there are no loose components, write down the psu details (make and model) re-assemble the computer, boot up and see how it goes.
Just a cautionary note, if you do use canned compressed air do not upend the can as it is possible for fluid to be emitted.
