Error disabling Local area Network

[Banzai]

Hi guys, I have a really strange problem when I go to disable a lan or high speed internet connection under network connections, I get an error saying it had not been possible to disable the connection at this time, this connection might be using one or protocols that do not support plug and play, or it may have been initiated by someone else on this system, but im the only person with a log In for the system. Its strange because I get this when I try to disable both local area network and fire wire 1394.

Please help, it used to work so its not something to do with hardware not supporting it.

Can you go into properties, and then into Configuration, and disable it from there?

Or try safe mode.

yes i can, so why cant i do it the other way round?

dunno, happens to me sometimes when it's the 2nd or 3rd connection. (like if I plug my wireless adapters in another socket by accident)

I haven't disabled firewire for a while though, maybe it's just be a fussy bugger.
