Windows 7 is "ready-out-of-box" for Networking.

Without more information on a problem, if there is one; a solution could be hard to determine. Heres the basics:

If plugged with a internet cable Windows 7 should find and connect automatically.

If you wish to connect WiFi, make sure you have a wireless card on your computer and search "Connect to a network" in your start menu to choose one. Keep in mind most wireless routers these days require a key for connection. And a Internet Service Provider must have connected your router to the Internett.

If you can't find one your WiFi might be turned off with a button on your keyboard or a program in Windows.

If you can not connect at all with a cable or find a WiFi network go to your startmenu and search for "Device Manager". Locate your internet card from the list(two if both cable and WiFi). Make sure they are activated. If not activate them, if they are; uninstall them(when prompted do not delete drivers). Restart your PC. Windows 7 should reinstall and activate them.

If not found in Device Manager you will have to install the drivers either from a DVD following the computer, a folder on your start menu if provided by the manufacturer or download it from another online computer.

If you want a troubleshooter to find the problems for you or if you have a problem with a home network, navigate to and choose your problem:
