I have an HP a6130n win7 and I'm having an internet issue. When I plug the Ethernet cable in in the back, the light lights up as it's supposed to. The thing is the PC doesn't read it. It doesn't show any options in the networking thing. I click troubleshoot and it says that the network adapter isn't installed. I think I'm missing what reads the Ethernet cable or something. When I went to network connections before, it used to have the Atheros or Realtek or something that said whether the Ethernet was plugged in or not. I don't see that thing anymore.
