www.BlackViper.com: Windows XP Pro x64 (64-bit) Service Pack 2 Services 411 - Network Connections

Network Connections

Default Description:

Manages objects in the Network and Dial-Up Connections folder, in which you can view both local area network and remote connections.

Additional Information:

Required for managing network connectivity. Set to disabled if you have no network or you do not toy with the configurations a lot. If your internet connectivity no longer operates after disabling this function, set it back to Automatic. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) also requires this service to be enabled.

Note: While disabling this service, you will no longer see the system tray icon (lower right) displayed, even for modem connections. Connectivity, however, still exists even on incoming shared network drives.

Additional Reading:
