Hello everyone,

this problem has really got me stuck. I'll try to explain this matter
in english, pls. bear with my translation of the windows vocabulary.

I'm having problems with my Acer Travelmate 290 series notebook with
WinXP Home installed. I don't know how this happend, but when I open
the control panel there are two identical entries for my network
connections.
Each icon, once clicked, will present it's contents in form of three
connections:

- LAN 10/100
- WLAN 802.1b
- FireWire 1394

All three network connections are in both entries. I've tried removing
the networkdevices from the system, reinstalling them on the next boot
- worked fine, all devices found and functional - but still two
network icons in my control panel. Each one still containing all three
connections.

I woudn't mind this - but I can't find or use WLAN connections anymore
since the second entry appeared in my controlpanel.

**some_sobbing**

How do I correct this? I want one WinXp with one controlpanel with
only ONE Networkconfig icon...

thanx in advance,

andy r.
