Network Connection, AXIS?

[Terry Pinnell]

Does this ring a bell with anyone please? In my XP Home PC (no
network), Control Panel>Network Connections brings up a menu listing
all my connections (plus a couple of wizards). Apart from my old DUN
connections and BT Broadband itself, which is the only one I now use,
there's one other which I've only just noticed, called 'AXIS'. It
looks identical to the BT Broadband entry in all respects; same icon,
same Properties.

But I'm darned if I know what it is. Any ideas anyone please?

(I regularly run Adaware and Spybot, BTW.)

Terry,

your webcam perhaps?

Terry,

your webcam perhaps?

Thanks, but no, I don't have one. (My googling found several
references to Axis; I'm guessing that's why you ask?)

Terry,

I only know that Axis makes webcams. Could it be that one was
ever before connected to this computer? The connection may have
survived until now.

If googling for "axis" doesn't ring any bells either, the next
thing I'd do is delete that connection. If it turns out that
something then stops to work, you can still re-establish it, but
then you'd know what it's good for.

Since nobody else has come forward with any good idea of what
that connection could be good for, you don't have very many
choices. And if the connection is only a twin of your current
one, it looks pretty useless.

Thanks for the follow-up. No webcam ever on this system. I'll probably
delete it - but my curiosity is well-aroused!
