Page 1 of "Network Neighborhood" desktop icon?

Hi all,

The other day we were *finally* supposed to be getting broadband. I installed the software, modem, filters etc. As you would expect, there`s now a shortcut on the desktop to the ISP, but yesterday I also noticed the "Network Neighborhood" icon, which had also just been created.

The Broadband didn`t happen - and hasn`t happened yet - something about "no capacity at exchange", but I was just wondering if the appearance of Network Neighborhood seems fairly normal having just installed the modem etc? I have had a read online about it and understand what it is and how to hide it via the registry, but I was just a bit puzzled by its appearance - I`m not on a network (well, apart from the internet), and am simply using the one PC from home.

AV tests come back clean, but I just wondered if anyone can shed some light on this? And has anyone else hit the "no capacity" problem when starting up with Broadband? Hope it won`t be too much longer as we`ve waited ages already...

Thanks in advance,

Dazza.

Depends on how your modem\router is connected up\software installed its installed MS Networking components as it may have required software as part of that.

NN is just nothing to worry about its your shortcut to configuring & sharing data with other computers.


I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

you BB provider might not have activated your line yet. I subscribed and got all my gear next day but it took BT just over a week to process my ISPs line order. Upshot is, i got my hardware over a week before i could connect.

if you have a temp dial up connection you should be able to se the status if your order on your ISPs site

Thanks for the replies, guys.
