LAN icon disappeared in network connections!
This morning, the power was going on and off for about four hours. Not sure if that's relevant, but it was happening.
I turned my computer on and the cable modem & router on and it wouldn't connect. I went to network connections and right clicked on the LAN connection in order to try and repair or disable/enable or whatever. Right when I right-clicked it, the icon just up and disappeared. I ran the network setup wizard and the long and short is that my computer doesn't seem to think it has a LAN connection any more. I tried restarting and disabling/enabling the 1394 connection and neither of those work either. The computer activity light on my router blinks about every second, which I think means there is no computer activity. My router also has wireless, which is how I'm connected at the moment.
Anybody know how to get my wired connection back????? It's XP-Home, SP2, if that matters.
