Win XP and Win 98 network

[Gerry in Ottawa]

I set up a network in my house a few months ago. I have a in 98 machine and a
Win XP Home machine running through a D-Link router to a broadband
connection. Over the weekend my son "accidentally" ran the Internet
Connection Wizard on my Win XP Home machine. Both machines can still see the
internet but they can't see each other. Also, the net runs real slow on the
XP Home machine. How do I fix this? Do I run the Internet Connection Wizard
again?

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

[Jerry]

Giving the wrong connection option to the Network Setup Wizard can
block network access. Run the Wizard again, and tell it that the
computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway
(router).
