Network Connections fails after SP2 Install
After installing SP2 on my new (Oct 04) Latitude D600, I could not create or use any dial-up or network connections, except the connection created for me by my school's IT tech prior to the SP2 install. Going through Comm Services, I find that The Network Connections Service failed to start. Trying to start it manually, I get an error 127. "Unable to find netman.dll". There are four instances of the same version of netman.dll on the machine.
I have worked with Microsoft for several weeks by e-mail, making changes to the Registry, checking for spyware, etc without success. Finally, Microsoft says they will send me a WinXP SP2 disk to re-install the OS after I re-format the C-Drive. Is there anything quirky about the D600 that I need to know prior to installing the new WinXP SP2 from Microsoft.
Maybe I should have started with Dell first (?). Does Dell have a new install WinXP SP2 disk for the D600? That's the only way I can see getting around this problem.

I had the same problem with a whitebox (non-name brand computer). The weird thing was, the network device showed up in the device manager, and I had network and internet connectivity. But form the control pannel, there was no network connection.
In addition to my network connections vanishing, my Windows Installer service would fail to start so I could not install or uninstall any software. My only recourse was to wipe Windows and do a clean re-install. In fact, it happened on 3 computers on a network, all different configurations. The only conmonality was Windows XP Pro, SP2, and File Maker Pro 6.0. All machines were non-viral and clean of spyware.
Has anyone else experienced this?

MS cannot figure out what's going on but suspects that both of these services are having some trouble getting device information during the boot process.

Quite a hassle, but everything works seamlessly now.
