Re: networking

yes I have. Also, I just did load win xp pro on ours (I upgraged our computer

Check the network protocols you need are installed for the
NIC/LAN. If you've got SP{2, the Windows firewall is ON by
default, either use a third party firewall, or in any case
set your LAN computers to trusted zone.

I turned off windows firewall and turned on the one which came with my
antivirus. I am still getting the same results. I'm not sure how to set the
computers to trusted zone. I did turn off the firewall for the home network
while leaving it on for the internet
