Power went out, upon rebooting my computer, the two Ethernet connections are now missing from the network connections window and only the 1394 connection remains. I have tried checking to see if the connections are visible in device manager and they are not. I have even tried to detect new hardware with no success. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the chipset drivers and still the computer does not seem to identify any Ethernet connections down there.
I think Ive tried everything. Did the power going out fry my motherboard in that aspect or is there any other tests or methods I can run because as of now I am unable to access the Internet on that computer. This happened during a lightening storm but I find it hard to believe that lightening would actually run in on a phone line and sabatoge only the Ethernet network adapters on the motherboard while not messing with the phone line/modem/router etc. Everything else with the computer seems to be fine.
