I have a Cisco 678 router/dsl modem connected to a Linksys switch -- part of
my home wireless network. I've been using it for about a year. The network
is set up to allow all of the computers to access the internet via a hub
(the Linksys switch). The switch has always shown up when I look at "My
Network Places" and the internet connection shows up in "View Network
Connections".

After installing some applications and then updating from Windows Update,
neither of theses show up anymore. Everything -- network printer, file
shares, etc. -- still works just fine. I've tried re-running the network
setup wizard a couple of times but that hasn't caused them to reappear. I
shut everything down and then restarted it all but that didn't change
anything either. Again, as I said, everything still works just fine -- I
just don't see the switch and the internet connection anymore.

Any idea why they quit appearing and what I need to do to get them to appear
again.

Thanks in advance,

Howard
