Network Connection Error Message

I somehow manged to mangle my config such that I lost connection to the

internet. I was unable to restore the connection and eventually ran out of

ideas and opted to reinstall windows (not a lot of fun!).

I ran a diagnostic which gave the following error message:

'NetBT transports test. . . . . . . : Failed

List of NetBt transports currently configured:

[FATAL] No NetBt transports are configured.'

For future reference, can anyone advise what that message means (in a little

detail) and what steps are required to correct it. I have an uneasy feeling

there is a straightforward way of fixing it rather than the nuclear option I

took.

tks
