| 678049 | 2008-06-13 03:34:00 | I've just finished installing Xtra broadband on my mother's PC. Drivers for the PC network card are also installed. Everything is hooked up to the net and working fine but there is no network visible under 'network connections' and the small '2 TV' icon in the systemstray is missing. Tried reinstall of network card drivers but no joy. Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks!! |

| 678051 | 2008-06-13 04:12:00 | Thanks Speedy...that's just it, there's nothing listed under network connections. The window is blank. | braindead (1685) | ||
| 678052 | 2008-06-13 04:23:00 | Open the device manager (Right mouse on My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager). Make absolutely sure there are no entries with yellow question marks in there. |

| 678054 | 2008-06-13 04:34:00 | OK. In the device manager, under Network Adapters, how many devices are listed there, and what are they called? Alternatively (or as well), post a screenshot of your device manager with the Network Adapters entry open, like this (www.imagef1.net.nz). Upload pictures to www.imagef1.net.nz I'm wondering if the network adapter has 'sort of' been disabled in the BIOS. If you do an ipconfig, what info comes up there? Start -> run -> cmd -> ok -> ipconfig -> enter |

| 678056 | 2008-06-13 04:44:00 | It's there alright. :illogical Do the ipconfig like I added in the previous post, make sure it's seeing the adapter and it's got a proper ip address etc. |

| 678057 | 2008-06-13 04:48:00 | Give this a try ---- Click Start, Run. type in CMD < press enter> Type in the folowing 1 at a time exactly as below ( note gap between 32 n) Hitting enter after each one. You should get a message popping up saying registered. regsvr32 netshell.dll regsvr32 netcfgx.dll regsvr32 netman.dll If you get an error message on the last one, netman.dll go to Here (www.dlldump.com) locate netmann.dll ( Number 62) and dump it in the C:\Windows\System32 folder Then back in the CMD box box type in regsvr32 netman.dll <Press Enter> See if thats of any help. ( Note: may require a reboot to activate) AND if that doesn't work look at This Page From MS (support.microsoft.com) |

| 678058 | 2008-06-13 05:02:00 | The card is it PCI then, not onboard? Since its got #2 on it, it sounds like its a PCI card Or the onboard (if the onboard NIC is a Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC as well) In which case, if its got onboard is it stuffed / has it been disabled? |
