Hi, while attempting to connect my PS3 to a network bridge I managed to make the local area connection icon disappear. I checked the "allow other users to connect through this computers internet connection box" and selected it to map through the virtual wifi miniport adapter. Was wondering if...

Hi I have a huge problem with my win 7 network. The initial problem started when I had to connect to the internet via USB (HTC Hero internet sharing) when I first did this, I had to install drivers from vista x64. But I eventually got it working. Or at least I thought. Next time I booted...

Hi all, Every thing worked fine until the day I started to play in the Windows registry :redface: I renamed some keys (I did not delete any key) that contained the names of all the wireless networks to which I have ever been connected. Those keys include...
