Hi,
That's also OK. You also can do the steps there.
For the Network Connection blank issue, you can try the following
suggestion.
Stopping the Network Connections service from Computer Management ->
Services
and Applications -> Services
and disabling it. Re-enable the service and start the service. You may
have to
re-boot between disbale and re-enable.
Thanks for using Microsoft News Group!
