Default network adapters

Ok here is what happened. I have ran this wizard a bunch of times. I checked
out your artical seen that I was doing it right, ran it again. This is the
first time this has ever happened. It said "an error occurred during
configuration of the network on this coputer. You can configure your network
manully or you can run the wizard again with different sttings". I rebooted
computer tryed again it went through that time. Went to advanced settings
tab, no ics there. Ran the wizard again came up with same error. Went to
setup manully, here is what it said. "An error occurred while internet
connection sharing was being enabled. The service cannot accept control
messages at this time." Here is IP again, rick's is the same as before.

Your question about report is the first time you told me to uncheck word
wrap. You have to leave it checked to get the report this way. The firewall
is what came with XP. Do they come with different ones, if so how do I
check?
Thanks Chuck

Sorry, Rick's firewall is not on. Sparky's firewall is not giving me an
option to turn it on, grayed out. The firewall far the internet

is on far sparky.


SNIP

I ran the wizard, still can't share files. The one thing I see

different
is
the node type on rick say's broadcast. Is that okay? When I go to

network
to
see if they will share Sparky shows it self, Rick doesn't show

anything.
Thanks Chuck, keep plugging away you will figure it out. I do have

another
card. It's an old linksys lan card II. I don't think xp has drivers far

it
but not sure.


So far, I don't see that you have setup ICS on Sparky. ICS will let you

share
internet service with Rick, plus it will provide network configuration for

both
computers, allowing file sharing to work.

Run the network setup wizard on Sparky to setup ICS:

Or manually, if you prefer:
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/serverbroadband.htm

And post updated IPConfig.

What is the name of the firewall on Rick? On Sparky? This could be

important.

BTW, please help me here. You are now producing a nicely formatted

IPConfig
from both computers. What did you do differently? I ask because a lot of

folks
produce IPConfig like you did earlier (garbled), and I would like to

improve my
instructions to they can produce it nicely formatted, as you are doing

now.
That would be a big help to me.
