Default "Using XP Home Fax utility after setting up a network"

Why are you trying to use an ISDN connection?
You must use an analog phone line to fax.

Hi all, I am having problems trying to use my fax utility after setting up

a wireless network for our laptop. That was not an easy task as it involved
using a DI-624+ and an ISDN Internet connection, the configurations involved
were tricky as the Router is designed for Cable or Broadband and not dial
up, but all the same it worked in the end by just being set up as an Access
Point. However since then I have been unable to use my XP Home's Fax utility
on this PC (Host), I am not interested in allowing the Laptop to access the
fax, but I do still wish to use it on this PC and for what ever reason it
will not work. It freezes the moment I attempt to open configuration or
settings in the fax console, I get messages informing me that I need a
windows shared driver etc and from what I understand XP home will not
support sharing on a fax utiltiy regardless unless I have a specific server
programe like Server 2003 for example. I have tried unistalling and
reinstalling my fax from the XP disk and I now only have a listing in my
programs called Fax, but that is empty there does not appear to be a program
where there once was one prior to the Access point being set up. I have
also tried to install a local fax from the print and fax file but that also
does nothing I dont even get a wizard happening.
What have I done or not done durring the setting up of our wireless Acces

Point thats caused this to stop working and prevent me from reinstalling it?

Cheers
Kaz
