PL1200 won't show up on my adapter list
I just recently had to reinstall windows because it was damaged by force restarting my computer and that caused all my settings to be erased. I had been happily connected to the Powerline before, but...
Network adapter card / driver not installed correctly after Windows rebuild ?
Ok, so that helped me a ton. I looked online and apparently under Device Manager, my ethernet cable should not be labeled as Ethernet Controller, but it is. It says it needs an update, but I am not sure how I might go about getting that update when I tried to scan the internet for it, but it didn't work.
If you don't know the make and model of your motherboard run the Belarc adviser free software:

From that you can identify your motherboard details. Once you have these go to the manufacturer's website and download network adapter drivers and install.
Hope this helps
