Re: Access to Network and Dial-Up Connections blocked

It sounds like you may have disabled it through one of the Group Policy
Objects.

To open the Group Policy snap-in enter gpedit.msc in the Start Menu
Run box. In the Group Policly look at:

User Configuration
\Administrative Templates
\Start Menu & Taskbar
\Remove Network Connection from Start Menu

Set this policy to "Not Configured". You may need to reboot to have the GPO apply... or wait about 90 minutes for the default GPO refresh rate to reapply the policy.

This is not familiar terrtory for me, so I'm following along as best I can.
I assume you are referring to Event Viewer. Under System Log there is a
recent warning event. When I doublle click it, it says "Adapter Intel
PRO/100VE Network Connection Adapter Link Down".

The message when I click the Control Panel icon is "You do not have
permission to open the Network and Dial-up Connection folder". There is no
error number.

I can't get to this right now but I will follow up on your suggestions. I'm
unfamiliar with the Ncpa.cpl file, but I'll do what I can and post back.
Please feel free to add anything else in the interim.

What happens when you try to open it? Are you recieving any error
messages? What about the Event Log, are any errors showing there? If
this is a permissions issue check and make sure that you have proper
permissions on the Ncpa.cpl file. You may have other (registry keys)
permissions which may prevent opening the file, try this and see if it
fixes things:

I am in a losing battle with my IBM laptop over access to Network and

into come hell or high water from either of the two administrative
profiles on this machine. I even created a third administrative
profile in an attempt to outsmart it, but access to this is just
blocked, period.

I'm not sure if the IBM "Access Connections" program on the laptop,
which does seem to work, covers the same territory, but I'd like to
be able to fix this, which is the only listing in Control Panel I
can't open.
