    Rant: Vista/Win2008 and it's broken 'Connect to a Network' dialog

    I've become highly annoyed with the 'Connect to a Network' dialog in Vista and Windows 2008. It seems if you have any 'extra' NICs such as a loopback, virtual adapters, etc -- it totally confuses the 'Connect to a Network' dialog. You'll notice the 'VPN to Work' is showing a 'Red X' despite the  'Network and Sharing Center' showing an active internet connection.

    If I disable the extra adapters, then the dialog works as expected. Hard to believe this wasn't fixed in SP1. I've confirmed this behavior in Vista 32bit, Vista SP1 32bit, and Windows 2008 64bit.

    The workaround of course is to open 'Network and Sharing Center' (ncpa.cpl) and connect from the entry listed there -- but that doesn't reduce my annoyance :)

    Great post! I am just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well - resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case.

    There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.
