Network Problem

Hooray for the pick! Were you clicking a checkbox when this error message appeared (and which one)?

How could you not have such a versatile program as Paint not loaded by default? :?:

If i check the client for MS and file and print sharing. If I check none or the bottom 2 it is ok but I am unable to connect.

Wiggo, i thought it was loaded by default, so I guess i never required it til now.

I am at loss to explain the error message. I gather from your original post that this occurs on both machines. I would guess that the same network setup error exists on both machines. Have you run the network setup wizard on both machines or are trying to manually do the setup? Do the nics appear to be working in device manager with no i/o conflicts? I know I'm shooting in all directions here, but I've set up several small networks (home and business) and just haven't seen this one before.

It looks like you don't have a protocol selected. Make sure TCP/IP is checked. Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing both need a protocol to be bound to them. Plus, without TCP/IP, your network won't work.

No the laptop is fine just the desktop pc that is having problems. Doesn't matter what boxes are checked wether all four it still has problems as soon as i try to check either of the first two boxes, with or without the tcp/ip etc. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and setup after setup and nothing seems to work.

Try this:
go to start
go to run
type command
click ok

now in this dos box, type "netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt"
of course without the quotes.
hit enter
then close this stuff
and reboot

then go to your network connections
see what is checked in there.
make sure you have Client for MS, TCP/IP, and File and Printer Sharing checked. You need nothing else
if they're not, check them and see what it does

if you still get the error
right click on your local area connection
choose repair.
see what that does

MS wizards are of the devil, dont use them.

What is an NP1100_4 and why isnt the TCP/IP box checked. They need a protocol.

Check TCP/IP and uncheck the top two.

Go to a command prompt and "ping 127.0.0.1"

Tell us what it says...
