We have 2 servers running lagoto, windows xp server. Recently we lost the
ability to view and/or change our network configuration. All we get when we
try to select the properties of the network card is an error. Any Ideas?
Thanks

did what the letter stated to do, now when network connection is selected all
you get is a white pop up box. You do not see "add a connection or any of
the network cards. Any more ideas. What is really wierd is that when using
VNC I could view the connection offsite but could not edit, but they can not
see and/or edit the connection locally. The onsite tech performed the "fix"
from microsoft. He still can not see anything but the white popup box. I
connect through VNS and all the network connections are missing but "add a
connection". What can I try next. hanks for your help!

Also, in order to view and post attachments/screenshots, you need to configure Outlook Express (or any other newsreader) to access the Microsoft newsgroup. Or, if you prefer the web interface (that;s where you're posting from, currently), then upload the screenshot to a free web host and mention the link here.

If I may add to Ramesh's comment above, you are probably using the web
interface to these newsgroups because you probably don't even realize
that a better alternative exists. The web interface is awful, and
besides not permitting attachments, it's the slowest, clunkiest, most
error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a
newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows. See the
links Ramesh provides above.
