no problems there. When I try and set up a home network,
I use the wizard. I shared my pictures, music, and one
laser printer. When the wizard completes, it says it is
bridging the connection. Once that's done, I used my XP
disc to set up the network on Win 98 computer and then
the same with the Win XP Home computer. Everything worked
fine and we have the network running.

when it is booted up, I can't get on to the internet (My
Win XP Pro computer). I deleted the bridged connections
and set up the internet again. I'm on the internet, but
we are not networked. The other 2 computers when booted
up, are not on any network (and nothing was changed on
them). They have internet access with no problem.
