Wireless Network

[Bob]

I have a wireless network card installed in my laptop. It
appears to be working because I can access the internet
through my home network via an access point. The problem
I'm having is that I cannot browse other computers on my
network. I have tried to set the wireless card properties
for "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer
Sharing" but when I click on OK I get a message that they
will be disabled, and they are. I think I have to have
them selected to be able to browse. I cannot browse from
the laptop to my other computers or from the other
computers to my laptop.
I'm open to suggestions.

Something is corrupted in the network connection's settings. Go to
Device Manager, un-install the wireless network adapter that the
network connection uses, and let XP re-install it. That will create a
new, clean network connection.
