1.Network Setup Wizard doesn't work

I have Windows XP Home (w/ SP2 installed) on my PC.  I'm trying to set up a 
network where wireless connecting laptops can use the printer that is USB 
connected to the PC.  The PC and laptops are sharing the internet connection 
through a wireless router (Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router WRT54G).  The 
shortcuts/links in my control panel,  "Network Setup Wizard" and "Set up a 
home or small office network", do not do anything.  It's as if the program no 
longer exists on my PC.  I've tried to locate the Network Setup Wizard 
program on the Windows XP cd, but have had no luck finding the executable 
file to run (i.e. re-install this program).  I've also created a networking 
profile on a USB storage device from a laptop and tried installing/extracting 
it on the PC...but this was only a profile for the PC to use to create the 
network settings more quickly.  Can anyone help me with getting the Network 
Setup Wizard working again or at least re-installing it without re-installing 
Windows XP?

3.Network Setup Wizard and Wireless network setup wizard double icons

I have had this problem for the past month now, don't remember what
triggered it, but..


My Network Setup Wizard and wireless network setup wizard icons in
control panel are doubled, even tripled, at times (depending on how it
boots up) and if I log off and back in, 99% of the time it's back to
normal.  I am wondering if anyone knows how control panel would
double/triple these icons, how to fix it, and what would cause it.

4.Network Setup Wizard doesn't work with P2P XP to W2K !

I am attempting to establish a P2P connection using crossover cable to
connect my XP Desktop to my W2K Laptop.

I am using the Desktop with XP Pro to initiate this and started the
installed " Network Setup Wizard."

When this gets to the part where I must insert the XP CD into the
Laptop and select "Perform Additional Tasks " I eventually get a
message which says that W2K is not supported.

How do I get the Network Setup Wizard to work with W2K ?

If it doesn't work with W2K , can anyone direct me to a Tutorial which
will explain to a beginner  how to achieve this connection between XP
and W2K equipped machines ?

5.Network Setup Wizard (XP) did not work, ping does not work

My in-laws have 3 computers they want to network, so I gave it a shot.  It 
didn't work.   :-)

For my benefit, please don't use too much jargon, I use these things, I 
don't profess to know how to fix them.  ::laughing::

This problem developed 2 months ago, but I was not able to stay with them to 
solve the problem, it was time to come home.  So I -think- I remember every 
thing correctly.

The decision to network was made in conjunction with signing up for DSL.  
The DSL modem is routed to a wireless router.  All 3 computers are hardwired 
to the router.  Originally, one computer was to be wirelessly connected to 
the network, but for practical reasons the wireless plan was discarded after 
the router was purchased.

The software installation for the DSL install went fine.  All three 
computers access the internet with no problems.  2 computers have XP Home, 
and one has Windows 98.  The Windows 98 is most likely way behind in updates. 
 I've just installed 98SE on an old computer of mine, and learned that the 
latest version of IE6 SP1 had to be installed for windows update to work.  
It's highly unlikely the Win98 computer hs been updated for possibly years.  
I will need to check this on the inlaws' computer.

After following the Network Setup Wizard instructions using an XP machine, 
including creating the floppy disk and hoofing it to the other computers (all 
of 10' max!  LOL) I found I could not read the hard drives of the other 
computers, even though the shared folders and such had been created on the 
hard drives of each machine.

Having learned about the Ping command from the IT folks where I used to 
work, I got the IP address of each computer (IPCONFIG).  In the command 
window of each computer, I tried to Ping the other 2 computers.  Of the 6 
possible Ping commands, only 2 of them gave me a return.

Could anyone give me some instructions as to how to go about finding the 
solution to their network problem?  Even if it's just knowledge base articles 
I can print out.

I won't be at their place for a couple of weeks.  I'm just doing some 
preemptive educational activities (LOL) here, prior to leaving town from 
their location.

Thanks, folks, have a great weekend.
