OK I r-c the Networks Connections and Internet folder in the control panel.

OK done although the window only shows one adapter, the same one as shown in 
the device manager so I'm guessing that's correct.

The "obtain an IP address automatically was NOT checked off but is now.
Still no connection.

> In Services ,make sure that DHCP Client is started and set to auto.

How do I get to Services?

> In Device Manager ,make sure that the adapter is present and enabled.

Device manager shows adaptor present and enabled.

> Showing LAN4 only means that there have been 3 previous LAN setups.

OK renamed.

Still not connecting but maybe I need to do the Services step?
