"In 2 adjacent PCI slots are 2 LAN cards

Hmm, let's see...LAN cards, as in Local Area Connection, as in
Network...nope, no dial-up connections here. Maybe you're talking
about the cable "modem"? A little help; if you're unfamiliar with
these newfangled "cable modem" devices, they aren't really modems by
the technical definition, we just call them that because people are
more comfortable that way. And, if you look closely, that big black
wire going into the back doesn't go anywhere near a phone line.
You do get one point, though... I'll grant that his system does APPEAR
to be set up with ICS (although, given the info provided, that's an
ass-umption...it would be odd if he had a computer connected to this
system NOT using it with ICS, so it's probably a safe ass-umption, but
it's still just an ass-umption.)
BUT, if you read the REST of the post, that's not his question, that's
simply his situation...

"Network Connections" panel sees the cards, reports them as L.A.C.
and
L.A.C. 3
Where, please, is Local Area Connection 2, and why isn't it reporting?
System's working fine, just curious why new card became LAC3, missing
out 2."

Read it again if you must...the poster wants to know why, if he has
only two NICs, the second LAN connection is named "Local Area
Connection 3" instead of "Local Area Connection 2". This is evidenced
by the last line of the post that SAYS; "new card became LAC3,..."
This is not a question about ICS, routers or even connectivity, it's a
question about why something is named one thing as opposed to another.
Lastly, "Local Area Connection 2 [3...4...5...whatever]" certainly IS
a naming scheme. That is, this is the pattern that Windows uses to
assign friendly names to connections that are associated with specific
hardware devices. The *NIC* is the device, not the connection.
But, hey, as they say, if you're going to be wrong...be wrong with
*confidence*!
Your vitriolic response eagerly anticipated...
