I'm using window Xp pro and using cable connection. When I open My network places, I can't see network connection icon and receive a message: "The Network Connections folder was unable to retrieve the list of network adapters on your machine. Please make sure that the network connection service is enabled and running" My internet is working normal but I can't find the Lan Or hispeed internet icon in my network place folder. Please help me to find my network connection icon back. I can't not change my network connection or anything about network. THANKS A LOT.

hello sounds like fire wall issue. try shutting off all firewalls both xp,s and what ever third partty fire wall your useing. try to conect to lan and internet. it will most likely conect now. in witch case you need to set permissions in your fire walls.

Thank for your help. But I can't shut off the firewall because My computer doesn't has network connection icon in my network places folder. Do you help any idea? Can you help me?!!!!
