Having problems getting my LAN port to work.

[Azureth]

Alright, when I first installed XP (along time ago) in my Network Connections there were 2 "Local Area Connections" (one for my LAN, and one for my PCI ethernet card) at the time I didn't know your LAN port could be used to connect to the internet so I just always used my PCI ethernet card. Well, I decided I now want to use my LAN port, problem is for some reason only my LAC for my ethernet card is there, the one for my LAN just dissappeared wtf?

This is what it looks like

Go into Device Manager (Control panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management) and see if it shows under Network adapters. If it does, see if it is enabled.

Yes, Nvidia Nforce network controller is installed (or so it says) I even had someone help me to find the right drivers to install it, however only that one thing shows up in network connections.

Oh, and I went into the BIOS and enabled NV LAN.

under the System / Device manager, uninstall it,. reboot ? see if it picks up again
