Hi Ken
I appreciate your help.
I'll try this out tomorrow and let you know if it works.
If I can't contact you on the newsgroup, is it OK to
contact you using your Email?

You are bridging your LAN card and 1394 port. I'm 99%
sure you don't
need/want to do this, so you should probably delete the
bridge (right click
the Network Bridge, delete). Doing this will restore
the LAN card's general
tab to it's normal state.
The error about TCP/IP not being bound to the LAN card
is correct, since the
LAN card is bound to the bridge and the bridge is bound
to TCP/IP. After
deleting the bridge, you should be able to repair just
fine.
XP Pro and Home and the same regarding this
functionality.

Hi Ken
Thanks for sticking with me!
I'm trying to connect two computers together. Computer
No.1 has WindowsXP Home Edition. Computer No.2 has
Windows ME. No.1 Computer is connected to No.2
computer
with a wireless connection. The wireless router (D- Link
DI-514) is wired to the back of computer No.1. The
wireless Ethernet (D-Link DWL-122) is connected to the
USB port of computer No.2. I checked with D-link to see
if the router and Ethernet device was working properly.
They went through a diagnostic test and assured me it
was
working properly. As far as ICS is concerned, I used
the
Network Setup Wizard to configure the Network, and if
I'm
not mistaken, it sets up ICS automatically.
About the Network Bridge. In Network Connections-
Right clicking on Network Bridge (Network Bridge)7.. (I
wrote that down exactly as it appears).brings up the
Network Bridge (Network Bridge)7 Properties dialog box.
Under Adapters, two boxes are checked, one for "Local
Area Connection" and the other for "1394 Connection" In
the next box below, under the heading: "This connection
uses the following Items, four items are checked. They
are: Client for Microsoft Networks, File and Printer
Sharing for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler,
and
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
A couple of curious things I think you would like to
know about. In Network Connection, I right clicked on
Local Area Conection, clicked on "Repair" and I got
this
message in the Repair Connection dialog box: TCP/IP is
not enabled for this connection. Cannot proceed." This
doesn't sound right to me, But I don't know what to do
about it.
Another thing. It seems every thing I read tells me
that on the General Tab for Local Area Connection,
there
should be an Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) component that
I
can click on to get to Properties. There is no such
component there. Is that something to be concerned
about
or is that one of the differences between XP Home
Edition
and XP Pro?
I certainly hope you can digest all of this. If you
do
have an answer for all of this please give it to me
step
by step. I'm new at this Networking stuff. Again,
thanks
for sticking with me!

OK that explains it, your adapter is joined to the
network bridge. The
bridge is a virtual adapter that combines several real
adapters into one.
When this happens you can't configure the adapters
individually, but if you
get the properties on the "Network Bridge" icon you
will
see the referred-to
text.
What are you trying to do anyway?
What connections are you bridging? It's also possible
that you don't really
want the bridge.

Clicking on Local Area Connection brings me to the
Local
Area Connection Status dialog box. In the box under
Connection is Status: Connected, Duration: 2:16:41,
Speed: 100 Mbps. Under Activity: Packets Sent: 6826
and
Packets received: 1766. On he bottom, there is a
Properties and Disable Button. Cilicking on the
Properties Button, brings up the Local Area
Connections
Properties dialog box. There is a General Tab and a
Authentication Tab. On the General Tab under Connect
Using: in a box is "Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network
Connection." Under that is a Button that
says "Configure." Under that it says This adapter is
part
of a network bridge."
No where do I see the sentence "This connection uses
the
following items; click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). I
hope
this helps.

Hi Ken
Thank you for replying so quickly!
On the general Tab, there is nothing that
says: "This
connection uses the following items, click
Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)." That's why I think there is
something
wrong here. Do you have any suggestions on how to
fix
this? I don't think I can Network my computers
without
it.

The quotes should like this:
If the connection is a local area connection, on
the General tab, under "This connection uses the
following items", click
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then
Properties.

Network Connection Bug?
I've been having trouble Networking two
computers
together. While in XP Home Edition's Help and
Support
Center, I stumbled on something curious!
In WindowsXP's Help and Support Center
under "Networking and the Web," - TCP/IP-
Configure TCP/IP Settings:
To configure TCP/IP settings:
1. Open Network Connections:
2. Click the connection you want to configure,
and
then, under Network Tasks, click Change
settings
of
this
connection.
3. Do one of the following:
. If the connection is a local area
connection,
on
the General tab, under "This connection uses
the
following items, click Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP),
and
then Properties."
In the bulleted sentence above, the part that
is
in
quotation marks does not appear on the General
tab
when I
actually try to carry out these instructions.
Does
this
mean there's a bug in my Network Connections?
If
there
is, is there a fix?
