Unhide Local Area Connection icon

Hi novegin,

start - settings - network connections - under the lan properties tick the show icon when connected button

Cheers!

novegin,

oh you dont mean the taskbar icon, if its not there check that the driver is installed correctly

Jay's right...if it isn't showing up in the network connections, then check the Device Manager to see if it is there.  If it is there with a red X, then re-load the driver, if it doesn't even show up at all under Network Cards, then try to reboot.  If the reboot doesn't work, time to replace the card (or see if you can diagnose it...but, for the cost of a new card, most of the time it isn't worth it)

Hi,
The network card is working properly with the curent ip address. Only thing is, it is hidden in the network and dialup connections and in the device manager. please tell me is there any tweaking in the registry or is there any tool to hide / unhide the local area connection or any group policy...

Thanks in advance

I have never heard of the ability to "HIDE" a network card in Device Manager...as far as I know, that is not possible.

there is a key in the reg but at this time of the night in Aus i cant find it.......

try scanning for hardware changes or physically removing and reinstalling the card

Hi Jay,
Its an onboard nic and so cannot remove. Please tell me the reg key if u find it.

Thanks
