Network Connections

Network Connections provides connectivity between your computer and the Internet, a network, or another computer. With Network Connections, you can configure settings to reach local or remote network resources or functions.

Network Connections combines Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0 Dial-Up Networking with features that were formerly located in the Network Control Panel, such as network protocol and service configuration. Each connection in the Network Connections folder contains a set of features that creates a link between your computer and another computer or network. By using Network Connections, performing a task, such as modifying a network protocol, is as easy as right-clicking a connection and then clicking Properties.
