So i have fixed my previous problem, need help on this.
Can't connect with ethernet, is it built in wireless?
Or do i have to buy an adapter?

Looking at the spec sheet there is no built-in wireless adapter (very few boards come with one).

When you say "can't connect with ethernet" do you mean you don't have this option (eg no cable) or the ethernet connection isn't working? If it isn't working, then I would suggest installing the Realtek LAN driver from here.

Looking at this - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A55M-HVS&cat=Specifications - I can't see anything to do with Wi-Fi, so you will have to buy an adaptor.

ok, ill go out and buy a adapter!

If you would like a suggestion, this is decent adapter.

Though I should mention that powerline really is an excellent (albeit more expensive) way to connect a PC via a home network, especially if you want to stream large files or play games with low network lag.

+1 for the powerline adaptors

I've a set like this at home (two in fact) and they work great, much more stable than the wireless connection previously. Never had a problem with them!
