No Network Icons
I am attempting to configure my Vista Toshiba Tecra laptop with a static IP.
When I go to Network Connections there are no connections listed. This is always true when I'm using the LAN, WiFi, not connected to anything. More specifically, the card works fine with DHCP, but I need to do a custom config for one of my locations. How do I make the connections actually show up? I found a few XP articles on this and none of them helped. Thanks, -p

No Network Icons
Thanks for the reply, let's see if I can explain what I've tried thus far.
Step 1 - 7 All my settings were correct as mentioned accpet I gave the Networks Connections servie rights to interact with the desktop. I also ran the SFC and it created no fix. Step 8 - I do not have the NumMethods key mentioned more specificallly he http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269019. I can not add it even when running regedit as administrator. Step 9 - All my settings were corect already The remainder do not apply to me. I am missing all icons and I have no hang as mentioned. I'm pretty stumped on this one. Is ther another way to hack at these settings from the commandline, registry, etc..? Thanks for the help, -p "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... Have you checked this troubleshooting?

No Network Icons
With that kind of reccomendation, its just time to rebuild the machine, or
go boot up the old XP laptop which is what I did. Thanks anyway, not your fault the thing is running poorly. -p "Robert L. (MS-MVP)" wrote in message ... It could be the 3rd party software issue.

Hey let me try one more thing, are there any 3rd party tools for configuring
this stuff so I don't have to rebuild my laptop or carry around my XP laptop? Thanks, -p "Peaboy" wrote in message ...
