Dial Up Conns. Have Disappeared

[Bob]

When I go to Control Panel/Network Connections all I see
are my network connections/bridges. My dial up
connection icons have disappeared. Anybody got any ideas
what happened to them and how I can restore them to this
page. (I use my cell phone to connect to the internet a
lot and it has a connection utility that lets me pick
dial up connections. When I use it, the dial ups are all
there. I also use a dialup manager from FrontierNet (My
ISP) that usually appears on the Network Connections
page. This is my real problem. It does not appear
anymore and I therefore can't use it to connect.
Frontier was very helpful in trying to solve the problem
but it wasn't with their software. Seems like my Network
Connections page just doesn't want me to dial out.) Help

A NIC that doesn't enumerate properly can keep the dial up connections from
showing.

Compare the LAN connections in the connections folder with the Network
Adapter drivers in device manager. If there is a Network Adapter driver
that doesn't have a corresponding connection in the connections folder then
try reinstalling it.

Thanks for the response. That could have been the
problem, don't know for sure. I used system restore and
restored back to a week ago before the problem started.
That cured the problem.
