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.
