Four days into this and the network still can't be setup. Two error
messages. One says there is an IP conflict and the other says the workgroup
"MSHOME" is not available. I've read every post here, downloaded pages and
pages of instructions, followed every step and the computers still won't
talk to each other. I downloaded the utility Network Magic and it configured
the whole system in 10 minutes and it all worked, but it appears to be
spyware so I don't want to run it. What does this utility know that the
Microsoft Setup Wizard doesn't know? I have a DSL modem with Netgear RP614
Router. The computer with Win XP home has Norton firewall and the other
computer with Win2K has Zone Lab. Should I uninstall both firewalls and see
if this is causing the problem? Any ideas?
