Open the network connections in WS2008/Vista in a snap!
I’ve been frustrated like many with all the massive and not really making sense UI changes that Microsoft have made to Vista and then WS2008… I really don’t care that much about Vista, but servers are a little more critical than workstations, and we need to get to things quickly!
So to get to the network connections in XP or WS2003 you could easily open it from either the icon in the tray or from network connections etc. In WS2008 and Vista you have navigate through multiple windows to get to it.. or you can do this!
Click Start and type ncpa.cpl and press enter
You are now presented with the Network connections area!
