So I was uninstalling my nVidia drivers and everything related to fix my graphics card. I had to restart my computer. Then next thing I know is that my network adapters (in my device manager and control panel) were gone!! The only thing left remaining was my 1394 firewire (not really helpful)

I unisntalled my drivers once before to fix my graphics card problem, but I got it to fix somehow. What if I accidentally permanently deleted my network adapters?

bleh, that shouldn't even happens as windows auto install generic drivers for almost everything

if you haven't restarted your comp yet
try that

if not look up your network adapters model and look up drivers for it
and maybe put it on a usb stick or cd to install it

You don't say what OS you are using, but XP or Vista (and earlier ones, too) will have generic drivers to cover connectivity. It should have automatically installed them when it started up and found 'new hardware'.
