      <string id="NC_AddRemoveComponents">Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection</string>
      <string id="NC_AddRemoveComponents_Help">Determines whether administrators can add and remove network components for a LAN or remote access connection. This setting has no effect on nonadministrators.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections are disabled, and administrators are not permitted to access network components in the Windows Components Wizard.

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Install and Uninstall buttons for components of connections in the Network Connections folder are enabled. Also, administrators can gain access to network components in the Windows Components Wizard.

The Install button opens the dialog boxes used to add network components. Clicking the Uninstall button removes the selected component in the components list (above the button).

The Install and Uninstall buttons appear in the properties dialog box for connections. These buttons are on the General tab for LAN connections and on the Networking tab for remote access connections.

Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", or "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection" settings are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box, the Install and Uninstall buttons for connections are blocked.

Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from adding and removing connection components, regardless of this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_AdvancedSettings">Prohibit access to the Advanced Settings item on the Advanced menu</string>
      <string id="NC_AdvancedSettings_Help">Determines whether the Advanced Settings item on the Advanced menu in Network Connections is enabled for administrators.

The Advanced Settings item lets users view and change bindings and view and change the order in which the computer accesses connections, network providers, and print providers.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Advanced Settings item is disabled for administrators.

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Advanced Settings item is enabled for administrators.

Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from accessing the Advanced Settings dialog box, regardless of this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_AllowAdvancedTCPIPConfig">Prohibit TCP/IP advanced configuration</string>
      <string id="NC_AllowAdvancedTCPIPConfig_Help">Determines whether users can configure advanced TCP/IP settings.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Advanced button on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box is disabled for all users (including administrators). As a result, users cannot open the Advanced TCP/IP Settings Properties page and modify IP settings, such as DNS and WINS server information.

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting, the Advanced button is enabled, and all users can open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box.

Note: This setting is superseded by settings that prohibit access to properties of connections or connection components. When these policies are set to deny access to the connection properties dialog box or Properties button for connection components, users cannot gain access to the Advanced button for TCP/IP configuration.

Note: Nonadministrators (excluding Network Configuration Operators) do not have permission to access TCP/IP advanced configuration for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.

Tip: To open the Advanced TCP/IP Setting dialog box, in the Network Connections folder, right-click a connection icon, and click Properties. For remote access connections, click the Networking tab.  In the "Components checked are used by this connection" box, click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click the Properties button, and then click the Advanced button.

Note: Changing this setting from Enabled to Not Configured does not enable the Advanced button until the user logs off.</string>
      <string id="NC_AllowNetBridge_NLA">Prohibit installation and configuration of Network Bridge on your DNS domain network</string>
      <string id="NC_AllowNetBridge_NLA_Help">Determines whether a user can install and configure the Network Bridge.

Important: This settings is location aware. It only applies when a computer is connected to the same DNS domain network it was connected to when the setting was refreshed on that computer. If a computer is connected to a DNS domain network other than the one it was connected to when the setting was refreshed, this setting does not apply.

The Network Bridge allows users to create a layer 2 MAC bridge, enabling them to connect two or more network segements together. This connection appears in the Network Connections folder.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the user will be able to create and modify the configuration of a Network Bridge. Enabling this setting does not remove an existing Network Bridge from the user's computer.</string>
      <string id="NC_ChangeBindState">Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection</string>
      <string id="NC_ChangeBindState_Help">Determines whether administrators can enable and disable the components used by LAN connections.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the check boxes for enabling and disabling components are disabled. As a result, administrators cannot enable or disable the components that a connection uses.

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties dialog box for a connection includes a check box beside the name of each component that the connection uses. Selecting the check box enables the component, and clearing the check box disables the component.

Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the check boxes for enabling and disabling the components of a LAN connection.

Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from enabling or disabling components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_DeleteAllUserConnection">Ability to delete all user remote access connections</string>
      <string id="NC_DeleteAllUserConnection_Help">Determines whether users can delete all user remote access connections.

To create an all-user remote access connection, on the Connection Availability page in the New Connection Wizard, click the "For all users" option.

If you enable this setting, all users can delete shared remote access connections. In addition, if your file system is NTFS, users need to have Write access to Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk to delete a shared remote access connection.

If you disable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete all-user remote access connections. (By default, users can still delete their private connections, but you can change the default by using the "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections" setting.)

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you do not configure this setting, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete all user remote access connections.

Important: When enabled, the "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections" setting takes precedence over this setting. Users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections, and this setting is ignored.

Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically by the system when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection.

Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_DeleteConnection">Prohibit deletion of remote access connections</string>
      <string id="NC_DeleteConnection_Help">Determines whether users can delete remote access connections.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), users (including administrators) cannot delete any remote access connections. This setting also disables the Delete option on the context menu for a remote access connection and on the File menu in the Network Connections folder.

Important:  If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, all users can delete their private remote access connections. Private connections are those that are available only to one user. (By default, only Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can delete connections available to all users, but you can change the default by using the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting.)

Important: When enabled, this setting takes precedence over the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting. Users cannot delete any remote access connections, and the "Ability to delete all user remote access connections" setting is ignored.

Note: LAN connections are created and deleted automatically when a LAN adapter is installed or removed. You cannot use the Network Connections folder to create or delete a LAN connection.

Note: This setting does not prevent users from using other programs, such as Internet Explorer, to bypass this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_DialupPrefs">Prohibit access to the Remote Access Preferences item on the Advanced menu</string>
      <string id="NC_DialupPrefs_Help">Determines whether the Remote Acccess Preferences item on the Advanced menu in Network Connections folder is enabled.

The Remote Access Preferences item lets users create and change connections before logon and configure automatic dialing and callback features.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Remote Access Preferences item is disabled for all users (including administrators).

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Remote Access Preferences item is enabled for all users.</string>
      <string id="NC_EnableAdminProhibits">Enable Windows 2000 Network Connections settings for Administrators</string>
      <string id="NC_EnableAdminProhibits_Help">Determines whether settings that existed in Windows 2000 Server family will apply to Administrators.

The set of Network Connections group settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional also exists in Windows XP Professional. In Windows 2000 Professional, all of these settings had the ability to prohibit the use of certain features from Administrators.

By default, Network Connections group settings in Windows XP Professional do not have the ability to prohibit the use of features from Administrators.

If you enable this setting, the Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 Professional will have the ability to prohibit Administrators from using certain features. These settings are "Ability to rename LAN connections or remote access connections available to all users", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to properties of components of a remote access connection", "Ability to access TCP/IP advanced configuration", "Prohibit access to the Advanced Settings Item on the Advanced Menu", "Prohibit adding and removing components for a LAN or remote access connection", "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection", "Prohibit Enabling/Disabling components of a LAN connection", "Ability to change properties of an all user remote access connection", "Prohibit changing properties of a private remote access connection", "Prohibit deletion of remote access connections", "Ability to delete all user remote access connections", "Prohibit connecting and disconnecting a remote access connection", "Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection", "Prohibit access to the New Connection Wizard", "Prohibit renaming private remote access connections", "Prohibit access to the Remote Access Preferences item on the Advanced menu", "Prohibit viewing of status for an active connection". When this setting is enabled, settings that exist in both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional behave the same for administrators.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, Windows XP settings that existed in Windows 2000 will not apply to administrators.

Note: This setting is intended to be used in a situation in which the Group Policy object that these settings are being applied to contains both Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers, and identical Network Connections policy behavior is required between all Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional computers.</string>
      <string id="NC_IpStateChecking">Turn off notifications when a connection has only limited or no connectivity</string>
      <string id="NC_IpStateChecking_Help">This policy setting allows you to manage whether notifications are shown to the user when a DHCP-configured connection is unable to retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server. This is often signified by the assignment of an automatic private IP address"(i.e. an IP address in the range 169.254.*.*). This indicates that a DHCP server could not be reached or the DHCP server was reached but unable to respond to the request with a valid IP address. By default, a notification is displayed providing the user with information on how the problem can be resolved.

If you enable this policy setting, this condition will not be reported as an error to the user.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, a DHCP-configured connection that has not been assigned an IP address will be reported via a notification, providing the user with information as to how the problem can be resolved.</string>
      <string id="NC_LanChangeProperties">Prohibit access to properties of components of a LAN connection</string>
      <string id="NC_LanChangeProperties_Help">Determines whether Administrators and Network Configuration Operators can change the properties of components used by a LAN connection.

This setting determines whether the Properties button for components of a LAN connection is enabled.

If you enable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), the Properties button is disabled for Administrators. Network Configuration Operators are prohibited from accessing connection components, regardless of the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting.

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting does not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.

If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the Properties button is enabled for administrators and Network Configuration Operators.

The Local Area Connection Properties dialog box includes a list of the network components that the connection uses. To view or change the properties of a component, click the name of the component, and then click the Properties button beneath the component list.

Note: Not all network components have configurable properties. For components that are not configurable, the Properties button is always disabled.

Note: When the "Prohibit access to properties of a LAN connection" setting is enabled, users are blocked from accessing the Properties button for LAN connection components.

Note: Network Configuration Operators only have permission to change TCP/IP properties. Properties for all other components are unavailable to these users.

Note: Nonadministrators are already prohibited from accessing properties of components for a LAN connection, regardless of this setting.</string>
      <string id="NC_LanConnect">Ability to Enable/Disable a LAN connection</string>
      <string id="NC_LanConnect_Help">Determines whether users can enable/disable LAN connections.

If you enable this setting, the Enable and Disable options for LAN connections are available to users (including nonadministrators). Users can enable/disable a LAN connection by double-clicking the icon representing the connection, by right-clicking it, or by using the File menu.

If you disable this setting (and enable the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" setting), double-clicking the icon has no effect, and the Enable and Disable menu items are disabled for all users (including administrators).

Important: If the "Enable Network Connections settings for Administrators" is disabled or not configured, this setting will not apply to administrators on post-Windows 2000 computers.
