A cable is not plugged into the network adapter "Local Area Connection"

I have no idea what this means or how to fix it. Can anyone help me, please?

Ah ok, it's just I have the Vodaone wireless broadband on my laptop and I'd say two times a day what's happening to your laptop happens to mine!

Is your laptop wireless? I know it is a dumb question, but the laptop could be diagnosing its own problem wrong.  
If not, have you checked that the wire you usually use to connect to the internet is plugged in both at the back of your laptop and at the router/modem?

---

Yes, it is wireless. So will it just fix itself if I leave it for a few hours?

that's weird. I have a laptop and that's never happened to me. I never actually pay for the internet, and My laptop still gets signal

---

OP ~ I don't know why it is as I don't have wireless, but sometimes my internet says Local Area Connection so I just turn off the modem and turn it on and it normally works.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Your laptop probably has a wired connection port whether you use it or not so it will always display that as not being connected if you're not using it.

---

So what do I do? Just leave it and wait for the internet to come back on?

If your internet isn't working then it's because the wireless connection has a problem. You'll have to go to 'network connections' in Windows and look at the status of the Wireless connection part.

No, that 'Local Area Network' is a completely different connection than the Wireless Connection.

If your internet isn't working then it's because the wireless connection has a problem. You'll have to go to 'network connections' in Windows and look at the status of the Wireless connection part.

Yes, I just said not connected and when I went to connect it, it comes up:

Windows cannot find any networks.

Then I diagnosed it again and this came up:

this computer does not have a wireless network adapter installed and configured.

[Ok, that is different to what came up first]

I wonder would the problem have anything to do with me not installing updates. Hm...
