I have a problem regarding the Internet Connection (I.E.
6.0.2800.1106 updated SP1) and Home Networking.
I recently purchased a new Siemens Fujitsu laptop running
XP home (5.1.2600) pre-installed and no CD available.
I wanted to make use of my two printers attached to my
desktop pc running ME.
Having attempted , a few times, to run the Home Networking
Wizard on both machines, I achieved a network enabling
file & print sharing. I need to retain the independent
Internet Connections on both machines, which are not
always connected.

However, with the network up and running, there is a
problem with the Internet Connection on the laptop (XP).
It dials up OK but will not display any web page, it
shows 'This page cannot be displayed'. Outlook Express
also cannot find the mail servers.
I have proved this problem by creating a restore point
before running the Home Networking Wizard, with the
Internet Connection being OK.
Following the network set up, the internet connection
fails. Restoring to the point before the Network Wizard
also enables the internet connection again.

Have contacted Siemens support and they advise that is the
ISP that is the problem, but have proved that connection
is OK.

Please can you help?
