HI! I have a question:
After a system recovery (W2K Pro or W2K server), when I am trying to re-configure my TCP/IP protocol, I get an answer saying that there is already a Network Connection with the same TCP/IP setings, but because the network adapter was removed, this one is hidden, and that I should change the settings I've just entered. How can I solve this problem? Has enyone had such problem?

This is just a warning message. You can just override and keep the TCP/IP settings that you're trying to enter. I'm sure there's a way in the registry to remove the remnants of the previous settings so that you won't get that nag message, however,there's no harm in overriding and continuing.

Thank you for your answer - I did all what you said about ignoring the message but still the problem was not solved. What I did was to remove the TCP/IP protocol and add it again after a computer restart. All is working fine now.
