problem with setting up Network

[Guest]

I have Computer#1 hooked up to a Linksys wireless router directly and Computer#2 is connected with a wireless PCI adaptor. My internet connection on both computers is running fine. When I try to network the computers by running the Network Wizard on Computer#1, I'm getting an error message. It says that there is a problem with the Spooler Subsytem App. I click OK and then the wizard continues. I run the wizard on Computer#2 and it runs fine. Then when I try to see the computers in my workgroup, nothing shows up. Any thoughts on what I can do?

I have come across this problem as well. I had posted this under Unable to
see network. Since their are two of us with the same problem maybe it is a
common MS Bug!

I may have stumbled upon something but I'm not sure what it means. Using
the wizard to setup a home network I just change the Workgroup name then
proceed to the end and as it is trying to complete the process I get a
spooler error. The process completes but this doesn't make sense since I am
not doing anything to the printers.

Any ideas anyone?

Peer to Peer
Linksys Cable/DSL Router with no additional firewalls.
Computer 1 is XP Pro and Computer 2 is XP Home. These computers can see
each other ok and go out on the internet.

Computer 3 is XP Pro and use to work on the network fine. It can still go
out on the internet however, it has stopped seeing the other computers. I
also get access denied and path can't be found, however there is no server
on the network. I can ping to them fine and map a drive to computer 1 as
\\192.168.1.20\ my documents which works fine.

I have changed the name of the computer and the workgroup name but no
improvement.

Any Ideas,

Thanks,

Joe

Try stopping the spooler service before you run the Network Setup Wizard.

1. Click Start, Run, and type "cmd" (without quotes) and press ENTER.

2. Type "net stop spooler" and press ENTER.

3. Then run the Network Setup Wizard after you stop the spooler in Step 2.

4. After you run the Network Wizard, you can easily restart the spooler
service by typing "net start spooler".
