warn This machine doesn't have any installed network adapters. The required network device drivers may have not been installed

info Redirecting user to support call



HTTP,HTTPS,FTP Connectivity

warn HTTP: Error 12007 connecting to www.microsoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved


warn FTP (Passive): Error 12007 connecting to ftp.mirosoft.com: The server name or address could not be resolved


error Could not make an HTTP connection.

error Could not make an HTTPS connection.

error Could not make an FTP connection.




I have no clue how to fix this.. If anyone knows of a way please help Thanks.

You need to roll back your network adapter driver to the one that used to work. 

right click on MY COMPUTER -  click on MANAGE - click DEVICE MANAGER -  click + next to NETWORK ADAPTER - 
you should see an adapter with an error indication 
double click on the network adapter line 
click on DRIVER - click on "roll back driver" and OK 

that should reinstall the old driver.  You might need to restart the PC for things to be fixed.

This seems to be an annoying problem with Dell laptops.  It happens enough that it appears to have been a planned "feature."   If you turn on your Dell laptop, and there is no power cord plugged in (you are using battery power) and no network cable plugged in, the hard-wired network device does not appear.  We have three (different model) Dell laptops and we have seen this on each of them.

Usually, you can get the network adapter driver to reappear simply by shutting down the laptop, plugging in the power cable and a live network cable, and then powering the system back up.  Only once have I had to actually reinstall the driver.  

What's annoying is that the network adapter driver randomly disappears if the network cable isn't plugged in during power up, or if the power cable isn't plugged in during power up.  It isn't really gone, since rebooting with both power cable and a live network cable plugged in usually reactivates the driver.

My previous laptop was a Gateway, and this was never an issue.  Dell needs to fix this problem so that customers can successfully plug in a network cable when running on battery power after the system has already booted up.

The answer to this most aggravating problem appears to be a very simple fix in Windows which I got from another tech site - so far it has worked like a charm for me and the other user that I got the info from:
- open Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel
- select 'Set Program Access and Defaults'
- select Windows and 'OK"
Windows will run through its little routine and Bada Bing! you should be all set!
Alternatiively, you could fool with the 'Custom' settings in this same dialog box and see if that resolves your issues; but that's only if you really want to set other programs as default mail, media, messenger, etc.
Good Luck!

I know youve probably already tried this but it happened to me earlier this morning. I just restarted my computer and it worked fine. Im not a computer genius but you could try restoring your cpu to an earlier date.
