Hi NetXPComm
Just to keep you interested, I went to
304040 "Description of File Sharing and Permission in
Windows XP," and I played that video on how to turn
Simple File Sharing on or off. I did exactly as it said,
and I don't have an option in that dialog box to do such
a thing. (My Computer- Tools- Folder Options-View). In
the video, it showed it on the bottom line. I have
Windows XP Home Edition. Does that make a difference?
Earlier in the article it did say that XP Home Edition
always has Simple File Sharing enabled! I appreciate all
the information you are supplying me. I'll go through the
rest of the things you asked me to do, and I'll get back
to you. My only concern is that, somehow, we are unable
to communicate with each other! That would really be a
let down! Keep up the good work.

Hello Gus - it sounds like your computer #2 has
connectivity to the internet
via wireless. So you should not need to run Network
Setup Wizard on the
computer #1 anymore.
It appears that what you are missing is file & print
sharing between the 2
computers. You should start from the troubleshooting page
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-
us;308007
and see what fails among all that it asks you to do.
You can also use the article
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?
FamilyID=87c0a6db-aef8-4bef-925e-
7ac9be791028&DisplayLang=en
as a resource to tell you more about setting up file and
print sharing
between XP and other Windows OS.
(all these articles are linked from the home networking
portal at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/homenetworking/. I
would recommend
keeping that on your favorites list)
Based on the info on these articles, if you are still
having issues, please
respond back with detailed info from the results of the
troubleshooting
article and we will help you from there.

I believe my ICF was disabled, to make sure I did it
all
over again! I made sure ICF was disabled, and I turned
off the spooler. I started the Wizard, turned on
Computer
No.2 and made sure I was on the Internet. It asks "do
you
want to use the shared connection?" I Clicked "Yes."
Next
page says, "Your computer has multiple connections." I
chose "Let me choose" (From Microsoft's article
283429).
I cleared the check box to "1394 Connection 1394
Network
Adapter." The other option that was left checked
was "Local Area Connection Intel(R)Pro/100VE Network
Connection." Next, Computer Description: Sever.
Computer
Name: D8924V31. Next, Workgroup Name: MSHOME. Next,
In "Ready to apply Network Settings," under "settings"
is
as follows: Internet Connection Settings: (nothing
entered). Connecting via ICS through: Unknown Internet
Connection Sharing. Network Settings: (nothing
entered).
Computer Description: Server. Computer Name: D8924V31.
Workgroup Name: MSHOME. And on the bottom: "The Shared
Documents folder and any printers connected to this
computer have been shared." Next, "You are almost
done."
I selected "Just finish the Wizard" and it completed
successfully. I restarted my spooler and enabled my
ICF.
I have Ad-aware 6, Spybot-Search & Destroy, and McAfee
Anti-virus installed.
Nothing has changed from the information I sent you the
last time. I still can't see computer No.2!

5) Did you attempt to run with wizard with a network
connection with ICF
enabled? (the reason why we ask, is there is a known
issue here)
Gus, did you have the Windows XP Internet Connection
Firewall enabled when
you ran the Network Wizard? The Windows XP's firewall
can easily be
disabled/enabled manually as shown in the steps below.

Please tell Microsoft about this problem.
We have created an error report that you can send to

No.2
I tried Setting up my wireless network with the
Network
Setup Wizard. When I got to the end of the Wizard, I
got
the above Error.
No.3
I have been trying to network two computers together
for
quite some time without any success. Computer No.1
has
Windows XP Home Edition. Computer No.2 has Windows
ME.
No.1 Computer is connected to No.2 computer with a
wireless connection. The wireless router (D-Link DI-
514)
is wired to the back of computer No.1, and the
light is
on. The wireless Ethernet (D-Link DWL-122) is
connected
to the USB port of computer No.2. I checked with D-
link
to see if the router and Ethernet device was working
properly. They went through a diagnostic test and
assured
me it was working properly. As far as ICS is
concerned, I
used the Network Setup Wizard to configure the
Network,
and if I'm not mistaken, it sets up ICS
automatically.
I
have a Dial-up Connection.
No.4
I have run the Wizard (It seems a thousand times)
with
different configurations (too many to remember).I
ran
the
Wizard with the recommended settings, and also with
the
Bridge deleted. When I stop the spooler (start- run-
cmd-
net stop spooler), I can complete the Wizard
successfully. However, my computers still can't see
each
other.
No.5
I don't understand this question. You will have to
help
me out here.
No.6
I believe I have answered this question in No.3.
I'll
to
give you a bit of what I see in My Network Places-
Network
Tasks-View Workgroup Computers-Server(D8924V31),
which
is
Computer no.1's name. Continuing on, in Other
Places-
Microsoft Windows Network-Mshome-Other Places- Entire
Network-Microsoft Terminal Services, Microsoft
Window
Network, and Web Client Network. I don't see
anything
about being connected to Computer No.2 I hope this
gives
you some idea of what I'm up against. Thank you for
your
willing to help!

Hiya Gus, this is interesting and to do more
research
into this, we require
more information.
Could you please provide us with:
1) The full text of the error message
2) From start to finish, what were the exact steps
you
took that resulted in
this failure?
3) What is your network setup? eg. how many
machines,
how are they
connected? etc.
4) Did you intentionally create the bridge? or did
prior
runs with the NSW
create it for you?
5) Did you attempt to run with wizard with a
network
connection with ICF
enabled? (the reason why we ask, is there is a
known
issue here)
6) What types of network connections does your
machine
have? eg. Ethernet,
Wireless, Bluetooth, Dial Up, Broadband? etc.
Thanks,

Does Microsoft have a fix for the Spooler error I
receive
at the end of trying to configure the Network
Setup
Wizard? Also, can anyone give me a step by step
procedure
on manually setting up my wireless network
without
using
the Wizard? I can't get the Wizard to complete
without
an
error even if I turn off the Spooler (Start- Run-
cmd-
type
net stop spooler) and/or disabling the Network
Bridge.
I
have Windows XP Home Edition on computer No.1,
and
Windows ME on Computer No.2. Any help I get will
be
greatly appreciated.
Gus
