N&S Center shows not connected to any network but I am!!

I have seen posts elsewhere on the internet of this problem, but nobod
has posted a solution

Network and Sharing Center is showing "you are currently not connecte
to any networks". Diagnose and Repair reports no problems, because I a
connected via my DIR-655.

My network is marked as "Public" though on a private network, and hav
four PC's on my net using the same Workgroup name. The other Vist
machineon the network has no problems

I can't turn on Media Sharing because Network and Sharing Center think
I am not connected to a network, and in any case my network is Public
and hence will not allow Media sharing )!
Catch blasted 22

IPCONFIG /ALL shows no probems though it is showing three Tunnelin
adapter Local Area Connections - all in Media Disconnected status

All services that I think should be started seem to be started

Any help much appreciated.:cry

Vista is fully up to date on fixes and service packs

Firewall is Virgin Media's PCGARD - but as I can access shared files o
other PC's in my workgroup I don't think it's a firewall problem.;

Thank

Keit
