Host is ME, remote is XP

[Stephanie]

I'm trying to setup a network. As far as I can tell,
everything is working fine. I set up my laptop (XP) and
it says I need to network setup disk. I don't know how to
do that with only a CD burner.

Can someone help me?

You don't need to make a network setup disk and run it on other
computers, even though XP's Network Setup Wizard says to do it. Since
everything's working fine, there's no need to do anything.

If you want to burn XP's Network Setup Wizard to a CD, it's in the
file C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe.

Well, that's the thing. Nothing is working right. The
only success I've had is accessing the internet through
the network adapter to my cable modem. That was a chore
too.

My desktop and my laptop aren't connecting. I've looked at
websites about it and I can't figure out what's wrong.

I'm a bit confused, Stephanie. Your first message said that
"everything is working fine", and your second message said that
"nothing is working right".

Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand the problem.

Describe the network hardware (cable, modem, hub or switch or
broadband router, how each computer connects to the network, what
version of Windows each computer has, etc.

What doesn't work? What are you clicking, on which computer, and what
exactly happens when you do it? Give the complete text of all error
messages.

With that information, I'm sure that someone can give you specific
suggestions to get everything working. There's no need to go through
a long list of mostly irrelevant items to solve the problem.
