    I'm an idiot. Somehow I was fooling around with my network connections and I think I accidentally disabled some network so now when I try and activate myWifi, I"m told the "Adapter is not found." I have a brand new HP Envy and I feel like a dummy. Help?

    In regards to what I just posted, I think I figured it out. However, I still am confused:
    These are all my network connections:

    (1) Local Area Connection (Bluetooth)

    (2) Local Area Connection (Atheros Gigabit Ethernet Controller)

    (3) Wireless Network Connection [my personal home wireless network] (Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN)

    (4) Wireless Network Connection 2 [not connected] (Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter)

    (5) Wireless Network Connection 3 [Unidentified Network] (MIcrosoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapater #2)


    Can someone explain to me the difference between numbers 4 and 5 and whether I accidentally created a copy of 4 and if connection 5 can be deleted?

    Why is connection 5 connected to some "unidentified network?"
