    Right click on My Network Places ... click on Properties ... should see it in the column on the left there. But depending upon how it's set up that may not be true. Might have to right click on the connection there and go to Properties ... then the Advanced tab...

    In other words if it's pre-SP2 it's in network/properties and SP2 moved it to control panel.

    Thanks! Very much for the pointers!

    The Firewall seetings are in Network Properties (he un-installed SP2 due to hardware conflicts that ruined his computer).

    Thanks again!
    Thanks!!! David
