Explorer crash - Network connections

[Ivan Bútora]

Hi all,



I have three network connections set up in my computer - Local Area Connecion,

one dial-up connection and one VPN connection. When I open Network connections

in Control Panel, then go to the Properties of either the dial-up or the VPN

connecion and click on the Advanced tab, Explorer crashes with an error. This

does not happen with the LAN connection.



I am not sure since when this has been happening.



My system is Windows XP Professional SP3 with all latest updates.



Here is the error information, copied from Event Viewer:

Hi,



Try this command as a simple test just to see if it changes anything

for you.

go start>run. command is, regsvr32 hnetcfg.dll

You should get a message saying succeeded, see if the issue is still

there.

Its worth a go for the sake of a few seconds. Let us know if anything

changes

Hello!



Since some days i do have the same issue. If I go into my network properties of an VPN connection and then click on advanced tab thats it, immediately the machine hangs completely... its a VPC running xp and latest SP.



i did the recommended regsvr32 hnetcfg.dll but nothing changes.



any other ideas ?



i cam along this issue because on of my VPN connections is not working from this VPC, but its working from a physical machine in the same network. But this is another issue.



If anyone else already came along this issue, i would appreciate anything else to try.



cheers joe

Hi,



Sorry i didn't get back to you sooner. Glad you have it sorted, the

crashing was probably because of corruption somewhere. You did exactly

what i would of suggested you to do next.

Thanks for your response.



I did try running the command, and it executed successfully. However, the

crashes still persisted.



Following what "joe joe" did, I deleted and re-created the two connections which

gave me problems. The crashes now do not happen anymore.
