On my desktop all I see in network connections is the wireless connection and
a virtual connection from Hamachi. On my laptop I see this too but ALSO Local
Area Connection, even though it is unplugged.
Why not on my desktop? The motherboard has onboard LAN and the drivers for
it are all installed and up-to-date.
According to Microsoft it should appear automatically, but it has not.
I am currently connected using wireless on both the laptop and the desktop
machine.
Thanks
Go to Device Manager and click the "+" next to Network Adapters. What
does it show for the status of the wired network adapter?
Un-installing and re-installing the wired network adapter might fix
the problem.
