I have been having the same problem ever since I installed SP2 on the 2
computers of my home network (which are connected with a crossover cable).
How can I fix this problem?

Hi,
The Limited or no connectivity message appears whenever your PC fails to
acquire IP addressing from a standard DHCP or ICS (Internet Connection
Sharing) if your PC is DHCP enabled, as a result, windows auto assigns IP in
the range of 169.154.x.x and notifies with Limited or no connectivity. Tell
me more so I'll help you sort it out. What I want to know is: Where is your
PC suppose to get its IP from, DHCP or ICS?

MIke I can see you're on a peer-to-peer, just two PCs. Manually assign your
IP in the range of 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2 subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and
a Gateway/DNS of 192.168.0.1 on both PCs.

Hope that helps Mike.
