Network Setup Wizard cannot complete-Spooler subsytem app error

[Douglas]

I had two computers networked but now they will not
communicate. When I tried to reset a network with the
wizard, I get a 'Spooler SubSystem App' error message and
it shuts down, unable to complete. The wizard says to set
up manually. Any workaround for that error or where to
find instructions for manual set-up would be appreciated.
I have-as a way to try a workaround- gone to command
prompt and stopped the spooler and in running the wizard,
I no longer get the spooler app error message but the
wizrd still fails to complete. I also have disabled the
XP firewall and Zone Alarm to no avail. Any other ways to
manually set up network?
TIA.

Hi Doug...
I have problem with the subspooler to. If you get
anywhere and rectify it, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop
me a line and give me some pointers. I am getting very
very frustrated here.
Cheers
