Home networking using different versions of Windows

[Guest]

I have one computer using Win XP Pro, one with Win XP Home, and one with Win 98 SE. My internet connection is DSL and I'm set up as follows:

Internet - Modem - Linksys Router - to 3 computers using CAT5E cables

All three computers connect to the internet and I have no problems there. When I try and set up a home network, I use the wizard. I shared my pictures, music, and one laser printer. When the wizard completes, it says it is bridging the connection. Once that's done, I used my XP disc to set up the network on Win 98 computer and then the same with the Win XP Home computer. Everything worked fine and we have the network running

Then at night the computer is shut down. In the morning when it is booted up, I can't get on to the internet (My Win XP Pro computer). I deleted the bridged connections and set up the internet again. I'm on the internet, but we are not networked. The other 2 computers when booted up, are not on any network (and nothing was changed on them). They have internet access with no problem.

I used the wizard again and set up the network and everything worked again. But as soon as my computer is shut down and started up again, I run into the same problem

Am I doing something wrong with in my hardware connections or something in my setup

This is driving me crazy and don't want to have the deletion and setup scenario each day

Thanks for any help

I have a speedstream router with XP, Me and 98
computers. The router provided directions that
superceded the Windows wizard.

I'm having the same problem, If I find anything out I'll

let you know. Please let me know if you find something
out first, I'm so frustrated with trying to network XP.

Thank you
