I uninstalled all network adapters trying to fix another issue but now my LAN network doesn't work,
what is the best way to restore network adapters and previous local area connection ?

Windows 10 - Local Area Connection missing

I've been trying to find a solution for this for some time now. I'm connected to the internet via Wi-Fi and I'm trying to share that connection to a Raspberry pi via ethernet cable.

The problem is that I can't find a Local Area Connection anywhere. I think the adapter may be missing but I don't know what to search for to get it. My machine is an Asus K53E.

I've already tried uninstalling the Ethernet Controller network adapter and restarting. No change.

In "Network Connections" are two ethernet connections, Wi-Fi connection and 3 other connections belonging to my VMs (VMware and VBox). Nothing local.

Any ideas on how to get a Local Area Connection running? Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Windows 10 hosted network hotspot problem

Hi Robert, in my opinion it is normal that the mac address of the virtual interface Local Area Connection * 12 Microsoft Hosted Network Virtual Adapter 00-0F-66-1C-1A-74 is the same as that of the Wireless Network Conne ... The Broadcom 802.11 Network
Adapter (which is still disconnected), since the Virtual Local Area Connection * 12 is hosted on the same physical network card Wireless Network Conne ... The Broadcom 802.11 Network Adapter. In fact, the user runs ICS between the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
Local Area Connection, connected to the Internet, (mac address 1C-6F-65-C5-A6-D9) and the virtual interface Local Area Connection * 12 (mac address 00- 0F-66-1C-1A-74). The 2 mac addresses are indeed different.

 

Hi Paddy, I assume that you uninstalled the network adapter through device manager so try going to device manager and select scan of hardware changes. Will likely find the adapter and then reinstall the correct drivers.

 

You might have to restart the machine as well.

 

Thanks. I did manage to get it back.
Yes, I uninstalled through Device Manager, but didn't get it back from there as the 'Scan of hardware changes' was unresponsive.
It did take a restart and some work of drivers updating.

 

Glad you got it fixed Paddy.
