View 6 Replies View RelatedThe service 'Network Connections' uses up 80% of my CPU whenever I leave it enabled. I have singled it out, and yes, this is the cause. Toggling it off in my msconfig leaves me with an idle PC (0% usage). However, I cannot get internet without 'Network Connections.'

I want the two computers to connect "locally" and share Files, printers and a scanner (without scarificing the internet sharing).My efforts on creating this connection were, so far, fruitless.Can someone point me in the right direction? As I am not technically inclined, "how-to" sites would be of great assistance.

View 14 Replies View RelatedRouter A:wireless linksys with an internet connection Router B:the other is old and supports only wired connections and it does not connect to the internet I just want to use for file sharing with my old desktop that does not have wireless card. So right now, the only way I can browse with my wireless connection is by disabling my LAN connection. However, when I have both connections enabled, the browser checks for internet connectivity with the LAN and since there is none on Router B it does not allow me to browse even though I am still connected to the wireless. I want to be able to use the wireless connection for connecting to the internet and at the same time be connected to my LAN. Is there some way to specify the order of the internet connection in the browser? All I see are settings for proxy in the firefox.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI've been doing some extensive searching for a solution to this since it turned up last night.I run Windows XP pro connected to a SBS 2003 server, which has been running fine for the last three months. However, my PC bluescreened last night, forcing me to restart - unfortunately, the size of the screen and resolutions meant I could not actually read most of the exception. When I reboot, it loads normally, goes through the network connections and comes up with the 'Press CTRL ALT DEL to Login' screen. I press it and the screen just refreshes.

View 7 Replies View RelatedIn my Network Connections it shows nothing. It is just white space. In my system tray, at the bottom right-hand corner of my screen, it shows no flashing computers. This has been so for around five months, I'm guessing. It never really bothered me until lately, and here is what I have done in order to fix it (to no avail, obviously):- Installed all critical Windows updates
- Ran Ad-Aware entire system scan (it's my only anti-virus program)- Tried to make a new network connection, but according to Windows, I have no network hardware, either- Put my Windows installation CD into my CD drive, went to "Install Optional Windows Components," and installed everything network related, then restarted.
I am running XP Home SP2 and using dialup to connect to my ISP.When I start the dialup connection, whether from clicking on the connection in the Network Connections window or by clicking on the desktop shortcut, it behaves strangely. Used to be that when the connection was established, an icon (two terminals) appeared in the taskbar area, and the NC window showed the connection status "Connected". Now, neither of these two things happen, so the only way I know I'm connected is hearing "modem talk" on my phone line.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhat on God's green earth is this? I have two network connections icons in my control panel. When I hover over them a tool tip(the little yellow box), each one says something different. One says "connects to other computers, networks and the Internet" and the other one says"configures network software". When I click on each one, they both go to the same Network Connections location with connections. What is the deal? Have I done something wrong? My computer is fine and everything, it just bugs me a little. I can deal with it if I have to.
