Settings for LAN? - there aren't any, not on your laptop anyway. The settings are in your wireless router's web-based configuration utility, is it those you've deleted or do you just need to re-install the driver for your laptop's LAN adapter?

For LAN driver go here and choose your country first if it's not the UK: http://support.lenovo.com/en_GB/downloads/default.page?selector=expand

If re-installing the LAN driver doesn't fix it, run your router's configuration/setup utility to re-establish a LAN connection, or just restart the router (unplug from mains supply, then plug it back in. Wait for all lights to show "OK").

By lan settings do you mean the driver, or the username/password settings for your adsl connection.

If it is the latter then you just need to obtain that from your ISP provider.
Although you should be able to have the username/password in your router and then just connect to it via ethernet without having to put in your PPPOE credintals (PPPOE is the authentication protocol your adsl connection requires).
