Network wizard selects wrongconnection

[Andrew]

We've 2 XP pc's connected via ethernet on a small router,
with cable broadband. Both can access internet fine, but
can't see each others shared files. When running the
network wizard it selects LAN for internet access but the
1394 firewire card for networking (there's no 1394 link
cable). The router see's both PC's fine.

How do I force it to use the LAN card and not firewire?

Thanks

Andrew

Tell the Network Wizard that you want to select the connections and
un-check the 1394 card in the list of connections that it gives you.
