I'm trying to change my IP to a static one for some port forwarding, and for some reason, I can't access the network connections area of the control panel. The window opens, and it goes blank for at least 5 minutes. If I leave it open, it simply shows that there are no connections. Obviously there is, or I wouldn't be able to post this right now.

Halp!

EDIT: Silly me, specs.
