Lost Network Connection
I am working on a friend's Dell Optiplex 330 running Vista SP2. The Broadcom Gigabit Controller is showing enabled and functional in Device Manager but does not show in Network Connections. IPCONFIG /all shows the hardware connection with specific DNS entries. How do I get the connection to show in Network Connections so I can change the configuration to automatically assign IP/DNS?

Lost Network Connection
Hi
If there is a valid entry in the Device manager there should be a valid connection in the Control Panel. Try to delete the Installation from the Device Manger, and be ready with the latest drivers for the NIC. When Vista re-discovers it, install the updated drivers. Jack (MS, MVP-Networking).

Thank you, Jack. Deleting the device worked. Vista discovered it and reinstalled it. I was able to set go into the IP4 properties and set it for automatic IP address and DNS server. I appreciate the help.
