Local Area Network Shortcut

Hi,

I'm one of those strange people who like to open their LAN connection to the internet manually. I had a shortcut to the "Local Area Network " connection on my desktop but it will not work from within YZ Dock. Anyone know how I can get this working?

Thanks,

Ken

You may try to create a shortcut to the shortcut (it's odd but sometimes it work)

Thanks for your reply.

For some reason the shortcut that I created won't go into the dock. I think it's because it's not linking to an app, but rather in the target box it just has a bunch of letters and numbers, like this:

{RANDOMLETTERSANDNUMBERS}

The shortcut is supposed to enable my Local Area Network connection from within my "network connections" folder. If I drag the connection to the dock I get no icon and when I click it, I get an error saying "windows cannot find {RANDOMLETTERSANDNUMBERS}".

I figured out how to get the folder in your dock you have to be able to have the control panel display in My computer I use Xteq Systems X-Setup Here to display it....go into control panel and drag the network connections folder to the dock and it will bring up the folder

Thanks,

I was able to do that too but for some reason that's as far as I can get. If I try dragging the "Local Area Network" icon into the Dock, I gett an error when I try to launch it.

maybe someone knows an argument that we can place in the dock to make it work....anyone please

Is there possibly a .vbs script that will enable the LAN connection? This would be able to be linked to from the dock.

That takes you to NetworkPlaces, but I've never been able to get any further than that.
