Be it by Start > Settings > Network Connections
Be it by Control Panel > Network Connections
Network Connections will not open/launch. An instant flash without the
hour glass.

Clicking on Network Connections –nothing happens.
This is XP Pro Administrator account.
Be it Safe Mode, Normal Mode I am unable to access Network
Connections.
I need to inspect Tcp and its properties.
Let me know if you have any suggestions to fix this anomaly.

Hi John,
What happens when you run ipconfig?

Click Start> Run, type: CMD
Click OK

At the command prompt, type the following and press Enter:
IPCONFIG /ALL

What happens? Any error messages?

I can run ipconfig /all and this command provides the current ip

Open Windows Explorer or My Computer, set the View settings to Show All
Files and to NOT hide system files.
Navigate to the \Windows\System32 folder and see if the file NCPA.CPL
file is present. That is the Control Panel file for Network
Connections. If found, does double-clicking that file open Network
Connections?

Since you have XP Pro, click Start> Run, type the following and click
OK:
gpedit.msc

In Group Policy Editor, go to Local Computer Policy> User Configuration>
Administrative Templates> Network> Network Connections

Go through and see if any of the listed policies are configured, and if
so, if they are set to disable any portion of network settings.
