Hi My Internet quit on me and when I was investigating, I went to Control Panel, Network Connections and there is nothing in there. The Local Area Connection icon is even gone. I put the computer on a network and I was able to go on the Internet net so I know my nic is good. The computer normally connects through it's own dsl modem so it needs a username and password set up on it. I'm unable to set one up tho. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!

The applet may be blocked by registry or policy or damaged/moved/deleted. Try ncpa.cpl at the run command. Try system restore to a time when it did work maybe. Might try sfc.exe /scannow. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
