I am seeting up a new home network. I have 2 pc's one using XP Pro sp2 and
the other is XP media center. My router is a netgear RP614 ethernet. I have
used the wizard on both PCs to configure the network connections. I have
turned off both firewalls and enabled sharing on the appropriate folders.
From the XP Pro machine I can access the files on the XP media ctr machine.
On the XP media machine, the network connection points back to the files on
itself. No matter how many times I try, the nework wizard will not change or
modify network connection. I cannot find anything that will allow me to
delete it or remove it.
Please help!! Thank you
