Windows 7 problem

#400359

I have a laptop that has Linux Mint on it, and i wanna install windows 7. Didn't have too much trouble installing it. But I have no wireless. Even when i plug a cable in, it doesn't seem to work. Don't think i've done anything wrong. Wondering if anyone here has had that problem. And what i can do about it.

Can you find everything in the device manager?

First things first do you have a network address
The simplest way to check the ip address of linux Mint 8, when using the bash shell is typing the command ifconfig. On typing the ifconfig you will not only be provided with the ip address, but also the mac address, subnet mask and other information.
If you want to know your system ip address follow these steps:
Start--->run-->Type cmd
Then command prompt will display.
type ipconfig
then it will display your system IP address
If you want to know your Network IP address then visit IP-details.com here it shows the details like ISP(Internet Service Provider),IP location,country,latitude,longitude etc..

I have Ethernet and Network Controller. Drivers for this device are not installed (code 28)

Okay, sounds like you used a generic version of Win7, find a flash drive, lookup the laptop on another computer, go to support and download the drivers for that laptop, once you install them the network will automatically be found.
