Want to see the advanced settings for a network adapter?
Good luck finding it, fucko
Ncpa.cpl > right click > properties and go from there is my main method.
Otherwise, Win+X > G (devmgmt.msc) and look at the network adapter in device manager
Other than the win+x chord, that works on just about every version I have to touch
Oh I solved the issue by switching to Linux years ago lol. I just recently had this frustration happen at work
Heh, I'm a windows sysadmin, so I use them often enough to know it from memory. I'm almost entirely Linux at home these days as well
