Your computer should have an wired network adapter, and you have drivers installed. What network connections are listed under Control Panel → Network and Internet → Network and sharing center → Adapter settings?

Octane requires your computer to have a wired network adapter. If you are running a desktop you probably have one, if you reinstall Windows you need to find and install the drivers for the card.

Hi,
I purchased and installed Octane on my laptop (Asus G74SX) and it was working... now it stopped working 2 days ago. I even downloaded the new version of octane but new and old both are giving same error... I have NOT CHANGED anything in my laptop. It was on wireless network from day one. So i don't think Octane needs wired network otherwise i would have never be able to run it.

Please we need help!!!

Thanks

franchais: your screenshot shows no wired network adapter. Octane requires one to be present but it doesn't need to be the active network connection.

Open Control panel → device manager (search it in the start menu), and see what devices there are listed under Network Adapters. Switch on any disabled network devices and if a device is not working, you may need to install the drivers.
