not sure what that is....but my computer says that a network cable is unplugged

and the thing with that is, i used to get the same message with my laptop but I was still able to access the internet

do you have like a cable box for your internet that you can run an ethernet cable to hook it up with your desktop?

Look for settings to turn a wireless connection on, on your desktop. Sounds like you need to just connect with a ethernet cable to get on tho if you don't have a wireless adapter.

Go to Control Panel --> Network and Internet --> Network and Sharing Center. See what it says there.

when I did that, it told me to use a usb flash drive to save my network settings

I went on "wireless network setup wizard"

wireless network setup wizard

try the setup wizard. the other thing about the USB is in regards to a wireless adapter. I Think you connect the wireless adapter with a USB to your computer and it sets shyt up. if the wireless setup wizard doesn't work then ur gonna have to connect directly with a ethernet cable
