• Okay, what you've written seems to vary from system to system it seems. That is entirely possible. • What Roger posted in reply to my original message is indeed correct, that is to say if I use one of my other Windows 7 machines - either my Netbook or my HP Notebook following Roger's suggestions - I get both hardware and adapter settings for the adapter, in the case of the HP there are 15 different tabs running from left to right across the top of the screen for different category's. Right; we have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Possibly there are differences in configuration depending upon any of a number of factors: • Variant of operating system; (X86 or I386) • Variant in OS flavour; (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate or Enterprise) • Variants of hardware and drivers There could be a lot of other things I haven't thought of which could influence this. However, on our Asus NetBook which is running Windows 7 Ultimate I386 and also on our Samsung notebook which is running Windows 7 Ultimate X86, (X86 being the 64-bit version and I386 the 32-bit, as I understand it). • Lynne's suggestion is correct as well, works on both my EEEPC and my HP Notebook but not on the new Windows 7-64 Desktop, adapter settings are not present in "Windows And Sharing" at all! That is because I never said anything about Windows and Sharing. I said "Network & Sharing Centre". You go into that applet and then shift+Tab or click on the "Change Adapter Settings" link. • I went into properties of the Network adapter as instructed by Roger and there - as with the HP - are a whole series of tabs from left to right across the top of the screen, 12 in all but none talk about setting up IP Addresses, now I'm awake I'll have another look to see if I can find out what's going on. Again, that is different to ours. • I wonder whether the manufacturer of Network adapter has a lot to do with this, for example I'm using the built-in Intel network adapter as came with my Mother Board, its got a whole heap of stuff listed in its properties I've never seen before such as "Master/slave" setup etc. Highly likely.
