Hey, Tim.
No such luck. There's another thread on this list dated 9/14/2005
(titled Windows Firewall) which I didn't notice until after I made my
posting. There was a discussion there re: this exact problem -
Apparently it's happening to lots of people. Pretty obnoxious,
because the best solution so far has been to rewrite all of the
policies for these settings. You can read more about the process
there. I'm concerned that I'll rewrite the things over again to make
the changes I want, only to have to rewrite them again (and again..)
when I need to make further changes.
So... I've put this off until I get my list together so I can avoid that
as much as possible. I'm crossing my fingers for a fix to this issue.
I'll let you know when I hear of one - You can do the same for me!
Good luck -
Gregg

Hello Gregg,
I've got exactly the same problem with finding the Network settings. Did
you get any replies off group and, if so, were you able to fix your problem?
Thanks a lot,
Tim Dimond.
