A friend accidentally deleted my LAN icon and I can't seem to get it back. Unfortunately I cannot set up my brand new Linksys router while it's plugged into a brand new Ethernet cable. Even the cable guy gave up today when he couldn't find the LAN icon. So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled the network drivers from Dell, rebooted. I also followed the steps on this page: Wireless is working just fine, however I really need to have access to my router so I can secure my connection - I live in an apartment complex and I'm sure everyone is enjoying the free wifi! I've misplaced my XP CD, so hopefully the solution will not include me having to use it. I cannot seem to figure this out on my own while searching around the net. Any advice would be appreciated!

Try this: Method 1: Let Windows automatically detect and install network adapters Windows can automatically detect and install the correct network adapters for you. It will also correct any corrupted registry entries on the network adapter. To direct Windows to automatically detect and install network adapters for you, follow these steps: Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager. To see a list of installed network adapters, expand Network adapter(s). Click to locate the network adapter, and then click Uninstall. Restart the computer, and then let the system automatically detect and install the network adapter drivers. Check to see whether your networking icons appear. If this method worked for you, you are finished with this article. If this method did not work for you, try Method 2. Edit to add: The article I linked to contains some of the same information that is in the one you posted. Edited by Queen-Evie, 15 September 2010 - 08:48 PM. You can try this let me know how it goes ok Right Click on My Computer Go To Properties Go to Hardware Click on Device Manage. See if there's anything under network Adapters. You want to see a network card of some sort (Dlink, SMC, Realtek, VIA. Anything will do) and double click on the card. Make sure it says the Device is working properly. If it says driver problem r reinstall the driver, otherwise work with whatever the error says. If the Device is working properly delete it and reboot. When you reboot Windows should automatically reinstall the driver for it..and at the same time a new Local Area Connection should be created. Your other option is to go to My Network Places --> Properties (Right Click) and Create a New Connection in there. Edited by rockmilk, 16 September 2010 - 12:09 AM. I did this a couple times yesterday, did it again this morning and no LAN. But now my wireless network is named Wireless Connection 3, I'm guessing because I uninstalled and reinstalled the network drivers 3 times now? If it makes a difference, Windows did not automatically reinstall the driver. I manually installed it after a few minutes when I realized it wasn't going to reinstall itself on its own. Still stumped! Edited by hamluis, 16 September 2010 - 08:03 AM. Removed unnecessary quote ~ Hamluis. System model (e.g., Inspiron 1545)? FWIW: I don't believe that System Restore has any impact on hardware.I can't be sure since I don't ever use SR. In any case.go to Device Manager and list whatever is reflected under Network Adapters. If there is nothing listed and there is a yellow marking there, that indicates that the system doesn't recognize the proper driver as being installed. Also.go to Control Panel/Network & Internet Connections/Network Connections. Post the info that is reflected there, please.
