Hi all,

I recently move to a new apartment and now I am trying to get my home desktop ( window XP home edition) set up with internet connection. However, I can not find a network adapter for some reason. When I go to device manager, I can not see option for 'Network Adapters' either. The network adapter does appear on the task manager bar as well. Even if I was missing a network adapter out of a sudden, I should still be able to see the option for network adapter in device manager, right. Has anyone encounter similar problem or has an idea as to what may be going on? I will appreciate someone sheding some light on this.
