Well..first dash into XP and I HATE it already. :P I'm
trying to network 2 computers at home (XP and ME) and at
first try they worked fine (shared docs) except that the
internet sharing thingy wasn't happening. Then in the
ensuing attempts to fix this problem, we did something to
the connection and now it won't connect the computers
anymore. We went through the help on it and it didn't
help at all. I'm so lost and rather torked off about
right now.

~seriously considering downgrading to ME!!!

The easiest way to get everything working is to run XP's Network Setup
Wizard on both computers. Use it to set up the XP computer to share
its Internet connection and to set up the ME computer to access the
shared Internet connection:
