Client for Microsoft Networks not responding to checkbox

[Dale Basye]

In the LAN properties window when I check on the
checkboxes for "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File
and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" and press ok
the error window comes back with a "Your current selection
will also dicablethe following components: i.e. the ones I
just checkmarked" and it in no way let's me check them.
What is the problem, it works with the wireless, but not
the LAN or 1394 connections? I have a Dell Inspiron 8600.
I have reinstalled the drivers with no help.
I have spent 3.25 hrs on the phone with dell, 3 hrs with
SBC/DSL, and 3 hrs with the IT Dept. here at work. Please
tell me what I need to do! Should I go back to my
Macintosh!

When I had problems with those guys, I was able to get them working
again by deleting my network card in device manager and rebooting.
Windows re-detected the network card and correctly loaded the drivers
including all that client for ms networks etc.
