Yes, I am connected to the network, because at one point the IP address and
DNS settings were sete. I am part of the internal workgroup, but want to
change my IP address to abother one my ISP/router provides because of this
virus bombardment. When I go to Network and Dial-Up connections, it should
say make new connection, and "local area connection" Through local area
connection I can change the IP address. Those two icons are not there.
