internet sharing - After installing Windows Phone 8 SDK, Connectify doesn't work

Today I installed Windows Phone 8 SDK from the official site. After installing and a couple of restarts (it restarted the PC to enable Hyper-V), I opened Connectify. I use Connectify Hotspot to connect my iPod to the internet as I have an ethernet connection and no wireless router.

The problem is that now, Connectify doesn't show WiFi in Share Over. The attached screenshot shows this.

Previously, before I installed the SDK, it would show Ethernet and Wi-Fi. I would select WiFi and share my internet. Now, this is completely screwed.

EDIT: I found out that the Microsoft Virtual Wi-Fi Miniport Driver has got disabled and I am not able to enable it again. Please advise.

Please advise on what to do

Hardware: Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, Apple MacBook Pro 9,1 15 inch Mid-2012 (non retina)

Answer

Hyper-V virtualises your network adapters, so each Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter maps back to one of your existing physical adapters. Changing the properties of a virtual adapter is the equivalent of changing the physical adapter that it represents (so IP addresses can be changed in that way).

To determine which is which or to de-virtualise a particular adapter, you can use the Hyper-V Manager. I'm not sure if this is enabled by default with the SDK install but it can be enabled via the Programs and Features control panel, then by clicking Turn Windows features on or off and enabling this item:

Once installed and run, there should be an option on the right-hand panel for Virtual Network Manager:

You should get a dialog like the following:

The red box is the list of currently virtualised network adapters for your system. By selecting these and viewing the details in the blue box you should be able to determine which is which (and it might be useful to rename them to something more useful).

If you wish to de-virtualise an adapter so it appears to Windows how it used to, click the Remove button (yellow box). Virtual machines however can no longer see it. You can always add it back in later if this is a problem.
