Really fouled up network

Boy have I botched this installation good. Having just
purchased two replacement computers running Windows XP I
naturally wanted to network them. Following the wizard I
created an operational network with shared files and
printer all working. Could not get the Internet
connection to function and little by little as I
attempted to configure the connection I began to loose
the other functions. In frustration I deleted all
references to the network in hopes of starting over. I
deleted shortcuts, My Network Places from start menu, any
files I could find that referred to home network. I
attempted to run the wizard again and had abortive
attempts and successful completions, yet never would they
work. At this point I can create a network station on
each computer, but they don't show up on each other's
network places.
QUESTION: How can I completely delete the jumble mess I
have created and start over without reloading Windows?????
 
you leave out alot of info here..
check the configs on each workstation.
zero out each and start over
change the name of your workgroup
all spelling should be exactly the same!
use tcp/ip with default settings only
after that, then add your wan connection: you dont say
what type...it was the cause in the first place, but you
dont give any details...that would be helpfull..
