Network connections empty.

Hey, i have a really bad problem.

When i go to control panel - network connections it is empty and If I click the Advanced menu and then click Advanced Settings, only the [Remote Access connections] entry appears in the Connections list.

In the device manager everything is fine and working.

I do not know how the problem started, just one day i saw that the network connections folder was empty, also on the taskbar, the lan icon was missing.

I have pretty much tried everything.
Updated net adapter drivers.
Deleted the old drivers in safe mode, then re installed the drivers.
I did absolutely everything on the microsoft troubleshoot page.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/825826

Everything seems to work fine, i even can connect to the internet with a Buffalo usb air navigator. But i need the lan to connect to lan parties when i participate. I am writing this on my asus eee which is connected to my big computer. I can browse all the files on my big computer with my asus eee and vice versa.

I´m getting quite desperate, I think my only option is to do a windows repair install.

I do not know if this is a spyware or hardware problem. My computer is protected really good. I am using F-secure for spyware and virus protection, just did a full scan and did not find any viruses.

I can run extra tests on the computer if necessary.

Please help me if you can :).

Thanks for reading.
