    I am about to do a clean reinstall of Win 7 and I was wondering is it possible to copy all my network connections settings to a flash drive and then back onto the computer so I don't have to re enter them again? I have two dialup connections, 3 wireless and 1 LAN connection?
    Thanks in advance.

    Open Network sharing center, click on manage wireless network, click on your network(s), go to properties, select copy network profile to flash drive.

    I don't think you understand. How do I copy the LAN settings and Dialup settings from the old install onto the flash drive?
