Unable to see my local area connection in my network connections

[MrEgo]

I have internet access, my NIC driver is up to date, but for some reason I can't see anything under my network connections. The folder is blank.

Anyone have any idea why that might be? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver.. no dice.
