Network Connections Folder Empty

[Ravi]

Hello,
I tried opening my network connections folder and there
is nothing in it. Before, my LAN 3 and other things were
visiable. I get the error to Make sure my Network
Connections Service is enabled and running.
After checking out on msconfig on the Services tab, I
see that my network connections service is enabled but the
Status says that it is not running and it has Stopped.
How do I change the status of this service?
Thank You

Philip,

I have the missing network connection icons syndrome and ran your
three lines... the last line gave me a

"LoadLibrary("netman.ddl") failed-The specified procedure could not
be found" message

Did a search and found 3x instances of the file

NETMAN.DLL C:\I386
145KB Application Extension 8/18/2001

netman.dll C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
151KB Application Extension 8/29/2002

netman.dll C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386
151KB Application Extension 8/29/2002

Do you know of a fix..

TIA

Ron

Have you tried starting the Network Connections Service?

Open a command prompt, type "net start netman" and post the resulting error
if any.

Ken,

Thanks for replying.

After typing "net start netman"

I get the following message.

<
net start netman
The Network Connections service is starting.
The Network Connections service could not be started.

A system error has occured.

System error 127 has occured.

The specified procedure could not be found.

That's a new one to me. Perhaps the service file is corrupted. Running an
"sfc /scannow" might tell you something.

Hello,
Thanks a lot! After typing these lines in, everything
works perfectly.
Thank You

Ken,

I have encountered the same problem when I had hard drive difficulties
The drive has been ghosted and replaced, but now the network connectio
icons are missing per the subject of this thread.

When I try to start the Network Connections Service from the Service
application, I get the error message

"Could not start the Network Connections service on Local Computer.
Error 127: The specified procedure could not be found."

Will starting it from a command line make a difference?

Thanks,
Scott Miller

Apparently this can happen when some of the networking dll have mismatched
versions. Have you been replacing files by hand or just downloading
windowsupdates?
