I am trying to connect my 2 computers in my home. I have dsl and run it through a linksys router. The last time I reformatted one of the pc's, I had this same problem. I had a hard drive go out, so here I am again, trying to get the 2 to connect to the internet.
My main pc is downstairs and is running xp home. My other pc is upstairs and is running xp pro. I have run the home network wizard about 30 times today, and I can't get the one upstairs to work.
These are the options:
1 This computer connects directly to the internet. The other computers on my network connect to the internet through this computer.
2 This computer connects to the internet through another computer on my network, or through a residential gateway.
3 other
Under the other tab comes these options
1 This computer connects to the internet directly or through a network hub. Other computers on my network also connect to the internet directly or through a hub. (this is the one that makes the most sense to me)
2 This computer connects directly to the Internet. I do not have a network yet
3 This computer belongs to a network that does not have an Internet connection.
I have tried just about every combination possible, but I can not get my pc upstairs to connect to the Internet. I did get it to see my pc down stairs once, but it still would not connect to the internet.
I had less problems networking win. xp pro and win 98 than I am having now. Very frustrating. Any ideas?[/img]
