is the adapter disabled?
did you have any static IP's set up on these 2 adapters?
right click your connection icon/ network and sharing center / change adapter settings on the left /
and make sure the Local one is enabled.
if its wired directly into the Modem you cant have a static IP unless your modem is a surfboard.
I'll try this one when I get home today. When looking at that screen however, I don't even see an icon for anything but the wireless network - pretty sure I should have specified that.
if you uninstall or just remove the wireless adapter and you see a wireless bar sign with no connection on the bottom right of the taskbar then your LAN Adapter is not functioning at all.. if you see the monitor icon with a red "X" on it then its disabled. you may actually see this icon in any case.
but whatever icon you have down there for you connection is "Right Clickable" to brin up the Network and sharing center
otherwise you can just go to start and search network and you should see it on there.
also... you can right click "My Computer" and go to manage then click on "Device Manager" and look under "Network Adapters"
If one of them is not functioning you would recieve a yellow " ! " icon. if its disabled you will see an arrow pointing down.
and if it says something like "Generic Ethernet Controller" then you have no drivers installed for your NIC
