Right click on your computer and select Manage
expand system tools.
select device manager

you should see network adapters in the right half of the window, is your network adapter listed there? is there a little yellow sign on it saying it doesn't work.

are there unknown devices?

I suspect that you haven't installed the right drivers and as such the device is either unknown or not working and you'll need to re-install the drivers.

Go to the computer manufactorer's website and look up your machine type and serial number. It should list the available LAN drivers. You might just have to download them all and see which one works for your computer. (You'll obviously have to do this from another computer and save them to a flash drive)
