Strange but true... I cannot open the "Network Setup Wizard". I go to
Control Panel and double-click the "Network Setup Wizard" icon and get no
response at all. When I open "Network Connections", I get a warning that
"The Network Connections Folder was unable to retrieve the list of network
adapters on your machine. Make sure that the Network Connections service is
enables and running".
I have a working Internet connection - a wireless setup with a Linksys
router. I set it up on this machine (a desktop with Windows XP Home SP2) 3
years ago and it has worked well ever since. At the time that I went
wireless with the desktop, I remember going through and changing several
settings in order to ease my mind concerning security issues... I turned off
the file sharing, etc., as I only had the one computer. I recently purchased
a laptop and was trying to set up file sharing between it and the desktop
through the router and it seems that I need access to either the "Network
Setup Wizard" or at least be able to see the current network connection in
order to change the settings and allow the desktop to communicate with the
laptop.
I had some components replaced on the desktop motherboard a couple years ago
and the tech didn't return my recovery disc. He has since closed up shop and
I have no idea how to contact him. I would be happy to provide more info if
it would help. Any constructive thoughts would be appreciated
