Re: Network Connections stumper

The information you have just provided did absolutely nothing for my problem.

I require additional information as soon as possible.

Thank you.

I have a dial-up networking connection already set up on my Windows Vista
Home Basic machine, which is equipped with Service Pack 1. Yet, when I
log
on as one particular user, and then click Start > Connect To, my dial-up
networking connection does not appear, and the "Connect to a network"
window
says "Windows can't find any networks" when I am not connected, or
"Windows
cannot find any additional networks" when I am connected.

At the same time, I find on my desktop a folder named "_hiddenPbk", which,
when I open it, contains a file called "rasphone.pbk". I have just found
out
that this folder, as well as the file associated with it, belongs in the
folder called "%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk". I copied the
"_hiddenPbk" folder from my desktop to this folder and restarted my
machine,
but the effort turns out to be for naught: My dial-up connection still
does
not appear in the "Connect to a network" window.

This quandary is user-wide only, meaning that this predicament only
happens
when I log on to my Windows Vista machine as user "X" but not as user "Y"
or
"Z" or any other user. What's the issue here?

I would appreciate any help you can provide in this matter. Thank you.
