Removing home network
Hello
You will need to change the name of your computers and workgroup, the settings will have to stay the same in order to connect via the network. The network does not see each computer because it is installed in the other computers, they see each other because they are on the same workgroup. To change the name Right Click My ComputerPropertiesComputer NameChange. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/homenetworking/ and http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/ -- Hope This Helps Haus Not a MS-MVP Not a MVP Not nothing, just a good ole boy. |

wrote: I have two PC's in my office both running XP Pro. I have had some LAN problems and instead of trying to correct all the problems I want to remove everything and start from scratch. My Internet connection is running fine so I don't want to remove it. All I need is to have the two PC's thinking they are "standalone" PC's again. Thanks Ernst Go to Device Manager and remove all network adapters. When you reboot, Windows XP will re-detect and re-install them, creating a new network connection for each one. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
