LAN connection icon not available.

frabob · 03-30-2005, 08:48 AM

Hi everybody.
I am working on a PC running Windows 2000 Pro SP4, and I am experiencing a strange phenomena.

When I open the "Network connections" windows from "Setting panel", I can see only the icon "Make a new connection" no other "LAN connection" icon is available. The point is that the Network adapter is regularly detected and even working! (With "ipconfig" I can see the IP address and MAC address). I would like to change the IP address but I cannot because the LAN connection icon is not available and so I am not able to click on "Properties" and change the address.

Is there any memory register value do I have to set in order to make the LAN connection visible?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thank you for you help

Cheers
Robero

post each question only once please.

the networking section is probably the better spot, so i'm closing this one.

refer to the other one.
