WinXP Pro installation on an old Compaq presario 600mhz p3 PC. Unable to get an
internet connection via dial-up. No ICS. Stand alone
machine. Troubleshooting. Protocols/passwords and dial up
config all good and checked. Checked modem in Device
Manager - no problems reported. Using win2k driver for the ISDN adapter.
PC Worked the first time I booted after installation, even got connected to the internet.
But after a reboot it stopped working. Probably after I installed the ISDN adapter. But it WORKED before i rebooted.

Network Connections folder completely empty - no
icons! Right clicking on icon area and using "refresh"
brings up error message.

"The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the
list of network adapters on your machine. Please make sure
that network Connection service is enabled and running"

Searched KB for this error - not reported.

Guess problem has something to do with my ISDN adapter, does it install some network drivers that gets loaded after a reboot, old win2k drivers?
Baffled.
