Hello,
yesterday was a thunderstorm, and I left my Ethernet cable plugged in, I wasn't home and came today, so I started my PC, and tried to connect to Internet... I couldn't, there was no LAN adapter showing. I switched to Wi-Fi and now I'm online, but there is no LAN adapter in Device manager, nor in network and sharing center>change adapter settings.
I went to my BIOS and checked for onboard LAN, and it was [Enabled] .
Could it be that thunder fried my adapter?
I cant find any adapter info, anywhere in control panel... Like it was never there.... I remember it said something like Nvidia - 100mb/s - ... something with these words in the adapter description.
Can I do something about this, can I fix it?
Thank you.
