Where is Client for Microsoft Networks

[dandes]

Have XP Home edition and want to share access on home
network with other Windows computers. For some reason
Client for Microsoft Networks is missing for the Internet
Connection. I thought it was built in for XP. Went
through the normal Add Client in Networking setup but no
choices are present for any networking clients. Do I
need to point it to the Windows XP cdrom somewhere?

It's possible that the Internet Connection in the Network Connections
folder has become corrupted. Go to Device Manager and un-install the
network adapter that it uses. Then reboot and let Windows XP
re-install the network adapter. That will delete the Internet
Connection and create a new one.
