I recently bought a new HP laptop with Windows XP Media Center Edition.
It has built-in wireless and ethernet. My problem is that only my
wireless shows up under "Network Connections." When I plug in an
ethernet cable, it will connect via dhcp, but I would prefer to enter
manual settings. Any reason that the ethernet icon isn't showing up
under "Network Connections," or is there another way to manualy
configure my ethernet card? Thanks for reading, let me know if you have
any ideas.

Hi,

Not really a fix but a work around...

because I go to various sites with my laptop I have various batch file to
change my ip address using the netsh command
the following is my 'Static.cmd' file...

@Echo Setting LAN to 192.168.0.254
@netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.254
255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 1
@netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection 2" static 192.168.0.1
primary

and then my 'DHCP.cmd' file

@Echo Setting up DHCP on LAN
@netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" source=DHCP
@netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" source=DHCP

Hope this helps a little.

Regards
Paul Mckenna

oops forgot to change a name in the first batch file.. the line @netsh
interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection 2" static 192.168.0.1 primary

should read @netsh interface ip set dns "Local Area Connection" static
192.168.0.1 primary

sorry
