You want to use the "Change Adapter Settings" link then look at the properties of all of the physical adapters (connected and disconnected), you will also see the virtual adapters - don't change these unless you need to.

In each NIC you will see one or more line items for the virtual adapters. Enable or Disable as needed - for instance if you never use the wired NIC you can disable the virtual adapter for that device.

I assume there is a 3rd party wireless app/service running to control the wireless? (Would explain how you can still connect) reinstalling that may reset things. Also, I couldn't tell if you'd just removed the logmein adapter, or the whole thing, but if it was the former, i'd reinstall/uninstall that, just in case.

Jim,

Assuming you have completed this stage of checks, but still - Have you checked windows services? Is everything running, that are supposed to?

I doubt if 3rd party connection software can be blamed, as the device drivers should still be visible.

I ended up reinstalling the OS.
