Scenario:
Linksys router connected to DSL modem. Home wired w/ CAT
5 going to router. Was not using ICS. 4 to 5 (wired)
PC's working w/ no problem at the same time. Attempted to
use laptop (wireless) to print to shared printer (on wired
PC). Didn't work, so went through network wizard on wired
PC - which appears to have installed ICS.
After this, the wired PC no longer connects to the 'Net,
and I can't get an IP address assigned from the router
within an appropriate range (192.168.1.1XX, etc). Other
PC's in the house still work fine. Foolishly, I did the
same thing on the laptop and now that doesn't work either
and has similar problems. I've tried dial-up and even
eliminating the router and connecting directly through the
DSL modem to no avail.
Is there a way to reverse what I've done and get things
back to the way they used to be without re-installing XP?
KBase files seem to indicate that once you run the network
wizard and ICS is activated, there's no going back. How
on earth can this possibly be?
