I have a XP professional laptop. My Desktop now has 2000 server and I have a
home network using a D-link router. Whenever I connect my XP laptop into the
network, my internet connection drops.. This just started happening after I
switched my desktop from 2000 to 2000 server..

Any reasons?

More suprise...as soon as I unplug the network wire from the XP laptop.. The
internet comes back on the desktop..., with the same IP from the service
provider. So I am thinking the internet is just disabled.., what is
disabling it? I am confused :-( I have XP firewall disabled.. The workgroup
name is the same..

How is the laptop connecting to the internet when not connected to the
network?
