The Network Connections folder is used to connect your computer to the Internet, to another computer on a local area network, and to other types of network resources.

A connection icon will automatically appear here for each network adapter installed in the system, but dial-up connections, VPN connections, and PPPoE connections must be added manually with the New Connection Wizard. Double-click any connection icon to view its connected status, or right-click any connection icon and select Properties to modify the connection.

Useful settings in a connection's Properties sheet include the TCP/IP settings, IP address, username and password (for dial-up, VPN, and PPPoE connections), and settings related to Internet Connection Sharing and the Internet Connection Firewall feature.
