After running Network Wizard I open my Network Places and
all I get is NR041. If I double click it goes to AOL and
it can't find any thing. How do I get rid of NR041 and
make a conection to my other computer? Thank you
Do you have a Linksys Network Everywhere NR041 broadband router? If
so, that icon should be there. Clicking it connects your web browser
(AOL) to the router's built-in web server so that you can configure
and monitor the router's operation.
Something else is preventing you from connecting to your other
computer. Without any information about your network setup, it's hard
to say what the problem is. These tips should help solve it:
1. Permanently disable XP's built-in Internet Connection Firewall on
local area network connections -- it's for use only on a direct modem
connection to the Internet. Disable and un-install all other
firewalls while troubleshooting. Details here:

2. Use only one protocol for File and Printer Sharing. If the network
needs more than one protocol, unbind File and Printer Sharing from all
but one of them. Details here:

3. Make sure that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all computers.
