Hi,
Recently, I had reformatted my computer, but in my network connections tab, the only adapter I have running is the 1934 Connection that is not for internet. I have two onboard LAN slots on my motherboard that are not being detected. Before the reformat both of the onboard network adapters were listed. I read a article about checking if onboard NIC is enabled, but I can't find it in my BIOS.
Can someone show me where it is? OR is there another reason why the adapters aren't detected?

Did your computer/motherboard come with a CD. You will probably find the drivers there.
Otherwise downlaod and run Everest. . This will tell you exactly what kind of NICs you have and you then download the drivers.
