JP,
Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, with all 3 computers
connecting and having internet access, so we can see where to start.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, Open
c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.
Also, can you please describe in a bit more detail what "unable to network the
three computers" means. What have you tried doing, and what error or problem
have you experienced?

Chuck:
Thank you for taking an interest. Per your request, I have pasted the 3
ipconfig.txt files below. I have three computers: a desktop running Win95
(yeah, it's old, but it keeps things interesting), a desktop running XP Home,
and a laptop running XP Home.
As to your other question, I have tried running the Network Wizard on the
two XP machines. Every so often, one of the PCs indicates that the wizard
cannot complete. However, even if I get the wizard to complete, I still
can't "find" shared folders on the other computer. As for the Win95 PC, I
haven't changed anything on it: it was working fine with its settings before
I screwed things up reformatting the desktop running XP Home. It doesn't
"see" folders on the other PCs either.
Thanks again. Best regards.
