PC doesn't recognise ethernet

[kristofk]

Hi guys, 

 

I recently accidently pressed a button in the ethernet settings which turned off ethernet on my PC. Is there a way to "unpress" or to delete the network prefrences in Windowws 8.1?

1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, typeadapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.

2. Right-click the network adapter, and then do one of the following:

   • To disable the network adapter, click Disable.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

   • To enable the network adapter, click Enable.  If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

   

   The network adapter menu

   If you disable the adapter, you have to enable it again to connect to a network.

I no, I had a glance at it, but I pressed it by accident and it closed the window I had no time to read, it was in hungarian it was either: desable internet or ethernet.

I pressed the button in the middle with the little shield, in english it is "ban" or however windows would translate it. Except that that was when I was looking at the ethernet settings not the wireless.

if you open this window on your computer you will see the translations. I was just showing what I pressed.

I foud out how, you type "NCPA.CPL" in Run and it will list all the enabled and DISABLED networks, from there it is easy. But thanks for your help.
