Hi I have been trying to set up a home network from a desktop to a laptop and
have been following PChucks Network instructions on doing this. All is well
in setting up the laptop and it can see the desktop but trying to set up the
desktop using the Setup the Network using the Internet option is proving
problematical. All looks well until the last stage when I get the error
message Cannot Complete the Network Setup Wizard. I have tried to look at the
TCP/IP configuration but it is on Auto already. I used to be able to network
the two machines with a Crossover cable but it got lost and I have purchased
a Cross Wired cable as this is all that the computer dealer was offering. Are
they the same? I have however for this experiment been using an Ethernet
cable and connecting the two machines through a router. I have disabled
Norton AV on both machines. I also had a look at the IRPStackSize as I have
read so much and understood so little that makes any progress. The
IRPStackSize on the Desk top is conspicuous by it's absence and on the lap
top it is (11). I am loathe to change this and the only reason I looked at it
is because when I attempted to set up the network without internet connection
I got some result but then got the error message that Not Enough Server
Storage....etc As you can see I have had a real go but am at my wits end now
as to where to go now. After the error message on the completion Cannot
Complete the setup Wizard what should I do from here. I would like to get it
to work through the router. The laptop can log in to the internet and see the
desk top files OK but getting it to work both ways is the problem. Help?
Thanks
