I am using Windows XP SP2 on a Dell Dimension 4600. I have a home network
that works well. However, when I attempt to access my Network Connections
Properties, I receive an error message...specifically a small window titled
"Network Connections" containing the message "An unexpected error occurred."
The only choice is OK.
I get this error when I select Start, Control Panel, Network Connections,
then right click on my Local Area Connection and select Properties.
How can I access my Network Connection Properties? I need to do so to
change an annoying "service" by Cox which precludes my ability to search
from the address bar.
TIA

The LAN connection is apparently corrupted. Go to Device Manager and
uninstall the network adapter for the LAN connection. That will
remove the LAN connection. Then click Action > "Scan for hardware
changes" to reinstall the network adapter. That will create a new LAN
connection.
