    Plug in ethernet and wireless internet dies....?

    The problem is that the router is assigning the ethernet card an IP and is acting like as the DHCP server. When you enable ICS(Internet Connection Sharing) you are trying to take over the role of DHCP.

    You need to go into the routers configuration pages and disable DHCP. The connect to your wireless, and turn on ICS.

    Can connect to internet via ethernet but not wireless

    Ethernet shows red X and does not appear in settings, but still works


    Not sure why this is happening. I have working ethernet and am connected, it works fine. But the taskbar icon shows a red X over it, and the tooltip says "Not Connected - No connections are available". Looking in "Network & Internet", ethernet is not even listed there. And before anyone suggests wireless interference .. this PC does not have a wireless card or integrated wireless.
