    First, is the network adapter present in Device Manager?

    Second, is it enabled under NETWORK AND SHARING CENTER > MANAGE NETWORK CONNECTIONS

    Second check to see if the Personal FW is not blocking the connection.

    If what gerryf19 said isn't present, you obviously have another computer, no? Download the driver for it from the Sony website or somewhere, and install it.
