No idea about this one, did a websearch & figured out it
is something to do with network connections..?

Put your XP cd in the drive and go to Start>Run and type "sfc /scannow"
without the quotes. Note that there is a space between "sfc" and "
scannow". This will replace any system files like netshell.dll that may
have gotten corrupted. Please repost if you need more help, and include
what you've already done to troubleshoot the problem.

The Windows XP file netshell.dll is actually hosed or corrupted. You need to
replace it either from the XP CD or by reinstalling the latest service pack.

I think that netshell.dll has something to to with file sharing. I'm
not positive, but I remember seeing that file name on a 98 machine I
installed file sharing on.

Hope that was helpful.
