Network settings

Greetings all,

Running ME - I cannot access the network settings in the control panel. I receive the following memo:
Your system administrator disabled the network control panel.

Anyone know of a fix?

 

Help?

Can ANYONE help here? Hoping someone may have run across this before!

 

Go to Start -Run and type in for example : Network.txt and "maybe you might find something helpful there, here's the whole list. Also if you reboot in safe mode and awnser Im guessing here "Another program instructed me here" or Diagnois ... (it is 1 of the few listed there) there's a help tree to follow. What a pain in the... it is to get a Window ME to help. lol. Im sure the moderators may have more precision help for you. GL !

Your problem is with the System policy editor.

I do not want to rewrite all the steps so look at my instructions in this thread:

Do not lose any of the names of the PWL files. Try each until one lets you into Poledit.

poledit did not pull up under run, however I was able to dl it from ms - what to do next?

 

Run it!

Hopefully it will not ask for a password. If it does, the first time jut hit enter.

If that don't work, it don't look good.

So try all the usernames and passwords you remember you ever used on this computer.

Once you get in, read carfully look at the networking section. You can do only one thing in Poledit but the way the questions are posed take some thought, just read the entry carfully. "You can turn on or off, or enable or disable or Allow or diallow ".

But the writer of this program seemed to ask in an unusual way sometime almost like a trick question.

Good luck

Mike

 

Worked like a charm Mike! Thanks to all for their help with this problem. Finally can access network controls after months of frustration!

Have a Heinie on me guys (checks in the mail, I promise)
