Hi,

I am having problems setting up networking, how can I remove what I have
so far and start again? I don't want to use restore points as it is not
my machine and they have installed a few programs since I first started
trying to get networking going.

Thanks
Gerald

Open the Device Manager and remove the network adapter. Reboot and
let Windows detect and re-install it.

Thanks for the info, Did as you said but on subsequent boots the network
is still there. How can I get rid of the network and start again from
scratch?

Removing the network adapter also removes the connection in the
Network Connections folder that uses that connection.

When it reboots, Windows detects and re-installs the network adapter
and creates a new connection in the Network Connections folder.

What else is there that you want to get rid of?

When I reboot the network neighborhood still shows both PCs, I want to be
able to remove them so I can start over.

Windows XP doesn't have Network Neighborhood. If you mean My Network
Places, you can right click and delete items in it.

You can un-share all disks and folders that you previously shared, so
that XP doesn't automatically put them back in My Network Places.

Thanks, I'll have a go this weekend. Is there any information available
on setting up a network manually?

I've you'll post a reply with a complete description of your network
and how you want to set it up, someone can probably tell you how to do
it manually. List all of the devices on the network (computers,
routers, etc) and how you want them to connect to each other. Give
the Windows version for each computer.

Okay here goes,
Computer 1 Windows98SE 1Gig AMD Athlon 128Mb ram 30 Gig hd NV100R II/III
fast ethernet card

Computer 2 Windows XP Home SP1 1.4 Gig intel 256 ram 40 gig hd Conextant
USB ethernet driver

Modem/Router Origo ASR-8400

Both PCs can access the internet but I want to be able to share the
printer connected to the Win98SE machine between both PCs and share files
between both PCS,

Thanks

I have also ordered a TRUST 100MB Speedshare USB Adaptor to see if that
will help
