Delete Network?

[PVR]

I have a home network of three computers. One is a desktop with XP. One is a
desktop with ME. The third is a laptop with XP. My router feeds a router
which feeds an Access Point. The first PC is wired to the router. The other
two use the Access Point via wireless.

I followed all instructions very carefully to set up my network. All PCs can
access the internet. NONE of the PCs can see any other PC in Network Places.
Obviously I have done something wrong.

Is there an way I can delete all of my network entries so that I can start
over with my network?

Peter.

All of the computers must get their TCP/IP configuration from the
first router.

Disable the access point's built-in DHCP server.

If you don't need the second router, remove it from the network and
connect the access point directly to the first router. If you need
the second router (e.g. because the first router only has one LAN
port), then :

1. Connect the first router to a LAN port on the second router, not to
the second router's WAN (Internet) port. You might have to use an
uplink port on one router or a crossover cable to connect the two
routers.

2. Disable the second router's built-in DHCP server.
