ok, i had my network going so i could get internet on my wired desktop and my wireless laptop. i wanted to share files as well, and i almost had it, when all of a sudden, i couldn't get internet, files, printer...nothing. on both computers. Now, i just wanna get it back to where i can get internet, and i will not worry about files and printer sharing anymore. I formatted the laptop, and put a fresh win xp, now, when i try to connect it still will not work. right now, i'm on my desktop and i put a different hard drive in with windows 98 on it, and that works, except when i connect the router. When i use the router, there is no internet. Has this happened to anyone before? i would have thought that the fresh install would have fixed it and allowed me to go back to what i was doing, but it still does not work. Is it the router? is it maybe the lucent technologies residential gateway? Please help if you can. i would really appreciate it.
Thanks
