I have a small peer-to-peer network using a 5-port hub. My main machine is an Athlon 1GHz running Win2000Pro, the others are a Pentium II (Win2000Pro), a 486 (Win 3.11) and an HP JetDirect serving an HP2000 inkjet (I have two Suns I want to add but that's another story).
I used to have ZoneAlarmPro 2.6 which worked fine but since running the upgrade to ZoneAlarmPro 3 on the Athlon I have lost the network connection icon in the system tray and the Network & Dial-up Connections dialog from Control Panel is blank (it is present on the Pentium showing Local Area Connection and Make New Connection).
I have completely removed ZoneAlarmPro (including deleting all references in the Registry), reinstalled IE6 and run the repair option from the Win2000 CD but still no icon and a blank dialog.
Windows Explorer shows the network and I can access the other machines, transfer files etc. but when the internet connection (ISDN) is dropped (after a period of inactivity or ISP timeout) IE6 and MS Outlook do not redial, ie they do not know the connection has been lost and I cannot right-click the icon and pick disconnect to force them to do so as I could before.
The 'Show icon in Task Bar when connected' box is checked (I have unchecked and rechecked it) for the Internet connection - I cannot tell for the LAN as the dialog is blank.
Can I restore the icon and dialog contents without re-installing Win2000?
