New Connection Wizard Error

[seth]

Under Network Connections I had 4 connections:

- Local Area Connection
- Wireless Network Connection
- AT&T (Dialup Connection I created)
- VPN (VPN connection I created)

Randomly I noticed that under View connections, the AT&T
and VPN connections were missing.

Even more odd, when I choose to "Create a new connection"
and choose "Connect to the network at my workplace" the
radio buttons for "Dial-up connection" and "Virtual
Private Network connection" are GREYED OUT, so I cant
make a choice, clicking next does not proceed the
wizard. Therefore not only are previously created
connections missing, I cannot create new ones!

This is Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack
1
Running on a Dell Latitude P4-M 2.0 Ghz Laptop 512 MB ram.

Ive searched newsgroups and knowledge base and cannot
find an answer, any help will be greatly apprecaited.

Seth sorry I cannot help you with your problem., however
I just wanted to say thank you for your help. Doing
the "hosts" search fixed the problem. Thanks VERY MUCH,

This should help with the wizard and maybe the connections folder too.
