| 238533 | 2004-05-22 11:49:00 | hi, check that the service "network connections" isn't stopped or disabled. because if it is you won't see your connections in the network connections box, or in the system tray. (although, connectivity isn't effected) (type services.msc under start/run to access the services settings.) |

| 238535 | 2004-05-22 20:07:00 | Check in Device Manager... check that you dont have intermitint problems with your NIC... If you NIC isnt regeristing windows wont give you the LAN icon... because it dosent think it has/can-get-to one... just a thought... |

| 238539 | 2005-11-24 00:52:00 | ************************************* * * * Please Read * ************************************* I have now spent two days trying to fix my computer. I have trawled through what feels like hundred of forums and millions of tips. What happened was: · Network connections folder was empty · Device manager was empty · Safely remove hardware and network connections have disappeared from next to my computer. What I did was use add/remove to delete ContextPlus from my system rebooted and everything was fine. This is quick and simple even for newbies and always a good place to start. I would like to thank MrCreosote www.annoyances.org |
