This is really strange but I have yet to find any solution. I have a Compaq X1000 laptop with Windows XP Pro (I clean installed myself) and all of a sudden my dial up connections just disappeared. They are not listed in Network Connections and if I create a new one it will disappear either instantly or by the next restart. I know they're still there because when I open IE (when not connected to a network) they still come up however after it connects it does not put the icon in the system tray. I have made sure the option to have it in the systray is checked.
I'm just plain baffled. I've never seen this happen before and I can't think of anything I did that could have caused it. The connections still work perfectly I just can't see it (which makes it hard to disconnect, not that I do that much
). Any ideas how to make them come back? BTW, my NIC still shows up in both places.
