Ethernet Problems

Please I've had trouble adding Ethernet to my list of Networks after my kid deleted everything on the network pane. I was able to add the Wifi and Bluetooth PAN but the Ethernet option isn't there. Is it the same as the Thunderbolt bridge and how do i do it???

Ethernet connectivity My thunderbolt bridge is not active for the ethernet connection. Why? I did find the answer but cannot find it again to attribute the person who wrote it. They had suggested that your old network locations will not display the an active ethernet bridge if you set those locations up without the adapter involved. ANSWER: simply create a new location with the adapter installed. I renamed it to start with the word Ethernet so I know if I am using the wrong location when I'm using my hard wire ethernet connection.

Can't Share Internet USB LAN Ethernet on MacOS Ventura I recently had an issue with sharing my connection to WIFI from USB Ethernet LAN and I am unable to share my connection because the USB Ethernet not showing up in the options; just the Thunderbolt Bridge. Are there any ideas to get this working? because I need to share my connection. I have tried many tricks but nothing helps. I am using MacOS Ventura.

Plug the cable from the Mac to the router and restart the router and one minute later restart the Mac.
