new connection

hi Dark Nova.....it says not a valid name must use at least one character which is not a space and should not begin with a period ..

i have tried names such as administrator ..dandare... 123456.. pompey..etc

but it still will not accept any name for a new connection in the administrators account ...i have tried repairing windows from the cd but no different ..

i am using start/settings/network and dial up connections/make new connection /........./enter a name for the connection etc.../

it just will not accept a name ....??

hence no internet connection is possible..!!!!!
