ravashaak, i will try your suggestion and let you know if it works. thanks for the tip

thanks for your reply zbeta. i have seen both articles and a couple of other ones. none of the solutions proposed have helped me with my problem. not sure what else to do. im almost considering re installing winxp. ive restored back to sp1 and i still have no network icons, but can see it from ipconfig. any other suggestions before re installing windows?

dont know if anyone else is having a problem like this but after installing SP2 i noticed that my network adapter icons have gone missing. they are missing from my network connections folder and the device manager. but if i do an ipconfig in dos i can see it and the ip it has. i still have normal network functions but no access to it. IT HAS DISAPPEARED?!?! i searched around and found an article on the MS site which says that there is solution to the problem. so i tried what they suggested but the problem is still there. anyone seen this before? can any one help?
