The problem could be that the local area network connection has become
corrupted. Go to Device Manager and un-install the network adapter
that the connection uses, which will delete the connection. Then,
click Action | "Scan for hardware changes" to re-install the adapter,
which will create a new connection.

I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm wondering if re-installing the network adapter worked for you. If it did how do you get to Device Manager
