WAN Miniport (IP)

Hey guys, i woke up this morning and turned on my desktop and realized the internet connection didnt work. So after some snooping around I found under device manager that "WAN Miniport (IP)" under Network adapters had an explanation mark. Anyone have any solutions to fixing this? thanks

You have AOL software installed?

Try a system restore back a couple days when it was still working.

Has nothing to do with hardware. It's an operating system installed driver.

get it of the os cd then... just type the driver file in search, but the last charter of the extention change to an underscore ( _ ) eg. drive.dl_ or progeam.ex_
