What OS are you using, and was the icon there before installing the Ethernet card ? What network are you trying to access ? (login to a NT,2000, Novell domain ?)

If you are using Windows 98 or higher, right-click on the desktop and select 'properties'
Look through the tabs presented at the top and I think you may find one that let's you show or hide desktop icons. I may be thinking of MS Plus though. If youdon't see a way to do it, download tweakui and use it to reinstall the icon for you.
Here's how:

Hi,
As I think the problem is that you are using third party software that can access directly to your registry and then maybe you or someone else choose or check to hide network neighborhood icon. For more information on regedit please go to http://www.winguides.com/. Hope it will help.
