On one of the XP pro systems I cant get it to accept the The client... or file and print sharing... in "This connection uses the folling items". It holds TCP/IP and QoS Packet Scheduler but when you try to tick File sharing and Client for Microsoft and click OK it comes up with "Your current selection will also disable the following components: Client for Microsoft Networks File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks. Are you sure you want to disable these component(s)? YES NO " Can someone help on this please. PS. Loop ping good and also pings other PC's.

Have you started the TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper, Server, and Computer Browser services in the Services panel? Or enabled NETBIOS over TCP/IP in the Advanced properties of TCP/IP for the network connection? (in the WINS tab)

I noticed that there was a multi media diver that wasnt loaded. I loaded that driver and then I was able to reconfigure the network to do what it was suposed to do. It would still be nice to know how this diver affected the network in this way. Thanks

No I was mistaken. The system allowed internet through from another PC but the network still has the same problem. Will renewing TCP/IP fix the problem and how do you go about it. I tried from cmd and nothing noticeable happened. Is it possible to remove TCP/IP and on restart run network setup again?
