Re: how to start networking from command line

thank you. however, it did not work, it just brought up explorer with c:\ as
the address. I am running as a local administrator in cmd prompt. the
login user is just a limited Up user.in a 2003 domain.

Try typing: ncpa.cpl and hit Enter.

ncpa.cpl is Network Connections.

There ain't no network.msc nor network.cpl

Also works in the Run command.

Start | Run | Type: ncpa.cpl | Click OK

Hope this helps. Let us know.

instead of clicking on the networking on the start menu or in the
control
panel, how can I start changing property of a network connection?

neither network.msc nor network.cpl works

I don't want to log off and login as the administrator account directly
as I will have the firewall software slow down the PC in the remote
connection mode. the fw is ok as Long as I have login session in place
from console and taken over by remote connection but login initiated by
remote connection will cause the fw to consume excessive high amounts of
CPU
