Hi, I can no longer access the internet and I get the message 'missing
network hardware' and I have no network adapter mentioned in my device
manager.

What should I do? I'm not a technical person ...please help

Try reading, it's the first step in becoming a technical person.

First thing to do is to check the back of your PC, or laptop, and see if you
can visiually locate the network adapter. This is normal a jack that look
like a phone jack, but needs more that 4 wires (8 exactly.) Once you find
it, check to see if there is any indicators (LED lights) are on. If there
are no lights, then your network adapter is "dead".

This is where the network cable goes in I take it....the light does go on but
it's not flashing like it does on other machines.
