Home network awry

[Mike]

I am back. Checked the cable : it works.
Reran the wizards, the one on the laptop from the Windows CD . As a result
it created a network bridge between the LAN and the 1394 connection. It now
uses a MAC bridge Miniport and forces an IP address of 169.254.175.166
Don't ask me why.
Bottom line is, STILL nothing works, no network, no ICS on laptop.
Any ideas ??? Password, logon problems ? Firewall ?
Regards,
Mike

Try a hammer, it allways does the trick for me.

Next Suggestion -

Restore the computer back to pre-SP2 days, and try again?

I have the same problem - and there's not much help from
the router people, who quite rightly say its a Microsoft
problem. I'm naieve really, but I would have expected
that if you downloaded an upgrade, it would have checked
and kept the same settings that existed before.

I did have the problem even before I upgraded to XP SP2.

I have an Actiontec R3010UW router - it was purfect
before SP2 came along and made things better...

Have you already tried the 'new' firmware 1.0.1.49 from the actiontec site?
