Thanks for the reply, but when I click on properties for
the network connection, I have 2 tabs- "General", and
"Authentication". Under the General Tab it displays the
device using window and a "Configure" button underneath it.
  The is no display of "This connection uses the following
items:" under either tab.

- I don't have
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services"
registry keys. I had deleted winsock and winsock2 keys per
another post.

- When I did ipconfig /all here is what received :
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

- Also by-the-way when I create network connections they
always switch to bridged. I have a small home network - 2
desktops and laptop using connected via a Belking router to
a cable modem. Not sure if that is pertinent but thought I
would roll that in here as well.

Thanks - Hal
