592097	2007-09-18 00:45:00	Friggin' computers!!! :annoyed: The Xtra icon I click on to access the dial-in screen on my desktop has decided to throw it's toys. Right-clicking on the icon, then left-clicking on CONNECT does nothing. Tried to be clever and compared what's in Properties to my lappie, which works fine. The only difference I can see is in "Find Target". On my lappie I have two fields: Dial-up.....with the Xtra icon, and below: LAN or High-Speed Internet.....with two icons I don't use. However, on the desktop the Dial-Up icon does not exist. Which it did last week when I used it fine! Grrrr....... Can someone please tell me how to get my Dial-Up hoodakky back? Buggered if I know where it's gone, but it's gone. Thanks (again). AB	allblack (6574)

592099	2007-09-18 01:59:00	Thanks Speedy. Resolved with help from Xtra as well. Wot the **** went wrong in the first place is beyond me....	allblack (6574)

Interestingly, when I did finally get connected, I went to right-click on it (to then click on Disconnect) and it came up with Connect. But it already was!!! Had to go to Network Connections to find a DIS-connect option. So I'm back to square one. Something is disabling the icon, even after re-creating the connection. Help?	allblack (6574)

592102	2007-09-18 06:30:00	weird. maybe you have some kind of dialer malware?	Agent_24 (57)
592103	2007-09-18 08:24:00	Well bugger me.....think I've fixed it. As the icon in Network Connections seemed to work, I dragged it to the desktop, and got rid of the old one. And Bob's your Aunty. Learnt a few new choice words though! :D	allblack (6574)
