Hello.
After receiving a new router+modem following a thunderstrike that took out the internet in the area I've had problems with getting my main rig, the one connected during the storm, to connect to the internet. When I diagnose the problem I get the message in the title. Since then I've tried every solution from this webpage: http://appuals.com/best-fix-one-or-more-network-protocols-are-missing/. Non of these fixes solves the problem for me and I've started to suspect the network card to be the culprit. I can connect to the internet just fine using the same router and cables with my thinkpad t420 with the same settings as my rig. Is it possible then that it is the nework card on my motherboard that somehow got fried, maybe from a power surge going across the ethernet cable? If so, would it be possible to replace it without much trouble?
