WAN Miniport driver not working

Installed Windows 7 Home Premium onto a SDD that was wiped by professionals not a DIY job.

Now my HP 8200  will not connect to the internet. 

Error message- Windows cannot detect a properly installed network adapter. 

WAN Miniport

Microsoft

version 6.1.7601.17514

What can I do to fix this issue?

When you installed Windows 7 did you remember to install all the drivers by downloading them from HP?

Its normally best to start installing the chipset drivers first….

No, I was unaware that the first should have been downloading chipset drivers first. Can I do something about it now?

I would be inclined to go to the HP site and download the network drivers for both Ethernet and also wireless network adaptors,( if you have a wireless network adapter installed) once you have safely copied these to your desktop (or somewhere where you can find them easily) check in "Device Manager" to see if there are any yellow or Red markers against your network adaptors…

Install the Ethernet driver and reboot and see if you can connect to your internet…. reboot your router at the same time…. Wait for a full 5 minutes before testing to allow everything to load after the reboots

If no joy then download and install the chipset drivers, perform the reboot on both computer and router and see if that fixes it.)

Don't forget to have your Ethernet cable securely clicked in at both ends!

Post back and let us know how you get on

So I went on over to HP website and after much milling around and not sure which of the 7 Ethernet driver i needed I saw "Chat with HP" and get this its Free

So in the end HP got my Ethernet up and running in minutes then Remote Assisted the other driver installs. Some points needed me clicking around the PC. 

Knowing the id information provided in the Device Manager was the key to locating the correct Ethernet driver. 

Glad you got it fixed
