Are both computers running Windows XP????

I can tell that the connection:

Local Area Connection
Connected, Firewalled
Broadcom 440x 10/100 intigrated controller

is by the word Firewalled. if you have an older operating system then you won't have this option.

You cannot force device manager and plug-and-play to enumerate a chipset you do not have.
