Anyone:
I have been suffering from a curious issue for a few months (amazing how
much you do to get things done). Unsure how or when, but I've lost
visibility to Network Connections.
Symptoms:
Start -> Control Panel -> Network Connections; None show
Start -> Run ... -> devmgmt.msc; Nothing shows
1. Cannot add new network connections though existing DSL and wireless work
after booting. When I click to "Add New Network Connection" the Network
Setup Wizard tells me that it "...cannot find your network hardware.".
2. Seeming sporadic drop of Internet Connection . Especially when
downloading or upgrading things like Norton, etc. Unsure if type of service
or lengthy download - the network connection does not restart and I must
power cycle the DSL Router and sometimes the wireless (for a laptop).
I must be missing or have a corrupt utility that makes the network and
device specifications visible? Must I "re-install" my network and device
hardware? Unsure how to do that with everything already "installed".
Specs:
Windows XP: V5.1 SP3
Computer: HP Pavilion 763n
DSL Router: Actiontec DSL Gateway R1524SU
Wireless: Linksys WRT 55AG
I did search the topic and:
Services:
Network Access Protection Agent; NOT STARTED
Network Connections; STARTED
Network DDE; NOT STARTED
Network DDE DSDM; NOT STARTED
Network Location Awareness (NLA); STARTED
Network Provisioning Service; NOT STARTED
