I love the superiority compexes with everyone telling me to do the obvious solutions. To make it painfully clear, I have already checked all of the standard things.

The internet's not killed, it works just fine and dandy. I'm on it right now. Pinging yahoo works fine. It's just that for whatever reason I don't have anything showing up in my list of network connections.

oh ok, I was totally lost. Man I haven't slept a lot. Our IT department is severely understaffed. You can't see other PC's on your network? Can you ping them? By name? By IP? Same workgroup or do you have a domain setup?

Heh, I just remembered that my roommate's pc isn't hooked into the router because I've got my pc hooked up to the router using that cable. :doh:
Still doesn't explain why I don't have any network connections showing up.

:chuckles: I did that shit all the time. Roommate would lock his door and would sit on file sharing. The bandwidth would be totally gone and I couldn't play online games. It pissed me off since I paid for the ****ing net. I'd disable web access to his PC from mine. That bitch. Win2k domains own.

But anyway, the reason I have his network cable plugged into my computer is because of this problem with my network connections window. For some reason my wired ethernet connection will still work in the absence of it actually showing up while my wireless ethernet connection will not.

Can you ping something like www.yahoo.com from a command prompt? Try pinging it by its IP as well. It might be a DNS issue. I remember you wanting the address of a really good DNS server. Yahoo.com = 66.218.71.198
he said his internet works fine but his network connections section of the control panel doesn't show any donnections :rofl:
