Answer 1

Go to the Control Panel,.and use the Network Setup wizard... Try that to set up your network. Also, sometimes, certain operation systems are not compatible for a network environment. And sometime, such as the case with XP, and ME, you actually have to purchase a different CAT5 cable to make it work. It's a hassle. I suggest you go wireless. There's less hassle and it's convenient, and inexpensive!
