re: XP Networking Connections Blank and Ipconfig won't run Thursday, April 7, 2005 at 4:59 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by beebobby (70 messages posted) Does your LAN connection show up if you right click Network Connections and go to Properties? If not then your NIC isn't being picked up. If it is in network connections, right click on the Lan connection, select properties and make sure that Client for Microsoft Networks is showing under "This connection uses the following items". If it isn't, Add it.
