Hi,I can enable/disable from lan internet shortcut I made to Network Connections. I need to be able to enable/disable from lan internet on my win2000 system.I could before I installed the Sp-4. When I try to disable Network Connections I get a message saying that another user or plug and play is keeping from it.No one else is loged on but me, as a Administrator.
There maybe something about the Sp-4 keeping it fron being disable.

Hi,Grimples thanks for taking your time for me.I have did it all "to" with no success. I have search around the forms and found that it happeneds when the Sp-3 is installed.My ver of w2k has the Sp-3 with it.I then installed Sp-4.Well I'm sure that didnt help at all., O'well we tried and learned something after days of trying. I could have been sleeping or something else.
Have a good one thank's again. I will show back up here to check it once more.
