Usually this happens when your Network Connections folder is emtpy, try
fixing that first...
First make sure that your Network Connections Service and Remote Access
Connection Manager services are running. If they are then compare the LAN
connections in the connections folder with the Network Adapter drivers in
device manager. If there is a Network Adapter driver that doesn't have a
corresponding connection in the connections folder then try reinstalling it.

I don't know what else would cause the wizard not to run. The good thing is
that you can do anything that the wizard would do manually. Since you only
have the one adapter probably you just need to turn on the firewall and
maybe change the workgroup name.

Thank you for your prompt reply, however I am
afraid I
did not understand what you said. I am fairly
new
to
computers and I think I will need a step
stepwithwalkthrough. Think of it as telling your mother
how
to
do
it. Can you explain it in an easier way? Thank
you

Usually this happens when your Network
Connections
folder is emtpy, try
fixing that first...
First make sure that your Network Connections
Service
and Remote Access
Connection Manager services are running. If
they
are
then compare the LAN
connections in the connections folder
theNetwork
Adapter drivers in
device manager. If there is a Network Adapter
driver
that doesn't have a
corresponding connection in the connections
folder
then
try reinstalling it.

I am trying to set up a home network but
when I
click
on
the Network Setup Wizzard nothing happens.
Absolutely
nothing! Is there a patch or a place where I
can
download
a new wizard?

up a home network so that the old computer could use the

files I have on the new computer.

I don't know what else would cause the wizard not to run. The good thing is
that you can do anything that the wizard would do manually. Since you only
have the one adapter probably you just need to turn on the firewall and
maybe change the workgroup name.

-----Original Message-----
Well that sounds correct. However the connection folder
not showing all
connection is the only reason I know of for the Network
Setup Wizard failing
to start. You still might try reinstalling your one LAN
card.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused too. I have one adapter in
the
Device manager and one LAN connection in the folder.
The
adapter says it is running properly. This is what shows
up in the connections folder: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE
Network
Connection and its the same in the device management.
-----Original Message-----
Sorry I'm having trouble following. Everything I had
suggested is for the
XP machine. How many adapters in the Network Adapter
sections of Device
Manager. How many LAN connections in the connections
folder?

I tried reinstalling the driver on the old computer
but
there is still only one thing showing in the
connections
folder and thats the adapter for the XP computer.
When
I
install the driver in the computer running 98, I
get a
window that says there is a file that is older than
one
already on the computer and they suggest to leave
it.
So
I leave it, should I say to change it?
-----Original Message-----
Yes I am trying to set it up with XP. There is only
one
adapter showing up in the connections folder, the
one
from the main computer. So I will try reinstalling
the
adapter on the computer running 98. I am using a
USB
to
Ethernet adapter on the old computer, will this
work
ok?
-----Original Message-----
No, Win98 works differently. I'm assuming you
can't
get
the network setup
wizard to run on the XP machine.
Now you need to check the second part of the
instructions. Run
"devmgmt.msc" to get Device Manager
and "ncpa.cpl" to
get the Network
Connections Folder.
To reinstall a Network Adapter Driver, right click
it,
click uninstall, and
when it is done uninstalling reboot the computer
and
it
should be
reinstalled.
If they are
then compare the LAN
connections in the connections folder with
the
Network
Adapter drivers in
device manager. If there is a Network
Adapter
driver
that doesn't have a
corresponding connection in the connections
folder
then
try reinstalling it.

OK, I typed that on the main computer and it
says
that
the network connections service is started and
the
remote
access connection manager is started. I typed it
on my
old computer and it says that file is not
found. My
old
computer runs on windows 98. Is this going to
be a
problem?
-----Original Message-----
Start / Run "services.msc". This will show you
the
services control panel.
See if the two services mentioned below have
started
in
their status column.
Post back with your results and I'll explain
the
rest.
