Removing home network

I have two PC's in my office both running XP Pro.
I have had some LAN problems and instead of trying to
correct all the problems I want to remove everything and
start from scratch. My Internet connection is running
fine so I don't want to remove it. All I need is to have
the two PC's thinking they are "standalone" PC's again.

Thanks

Hello
You will need to change the name of your computers and workgroup, the
settings will have to stay the same in order to connect via the network. The
network does not see each computer because it is installed in the other
computers, they see each other because they are on the same workgroup.
To change the name Right Click My Computer>Properties>Computer Name>Change.

Click to expand...

Go to Device Manager and remove all network adapters. When you
reboot, Windows XP will re-detect and re-install them, creating a new
network connection for each one.
