I had lot of problems with my laptop earlier when my wired connection didn’t work at all… wifi did. However yesterday i got the wired connection to work. I use an ethernet cable very long one to connect to router.
Today i cannot connect wired. Not only that, i went to local area network and i dont even see local area connection icon. All i see is the wifi connection.
I won’t be around to see how this ends (for a few days, not expecting to die) so I’ll leave a generic first suggestion.
First, a little more information would be helpful. Are you on PC or Apple? What OS version? Did you verify that the network cable is plugged in on both ends? If you’re plugged in to a router, is the router showing a light for the port?
Assuming you’re using Windows, in the lower right hand corner (go to desktop mode if you’re on Windows 8) and right click the local area connection icon. (I am hoping this isn’t the one you say you can’t see–I specifically mean the one in the taskbar.) Then click the “troubleshoot” option and see if that provides any information.
