Default RE: Adding a New PC to an Existing Office Network

BTW, on reading thru some of these threads I figured I should tell you the
following items.
The new PC running XP Home is a laptop. Under Lan or High-Speed Internet
Network Connections, it shows 3 items. 1394, disabled, firewalled Local
Area Connection, connected, firewalled Wireless Network Connection,
disabled, firewalled.
