Am having difficulty home networking computer with XP Pro. A couple of years ago, I had successfully networked the same computer but with much difficulty. After several days of research and trying this and that, I finally came across a reference to an article written by a M'soft tech. This article was written asa a possible fix for someone who was experiencing the same problems as my self.

Article instructed a change somewhere in the registry. I remember it was a node change and think the value was changed from 0 to 2. This fix brought my home networking problem to a close. Does anyone remember this fix or know where I can get the article?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the Heads up on where to look. Found it and it worked.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netbt\Parameters\

Change the value of the EnableProxy value in the preceding registry key to 0 or 1, quit Registry Editor, and then restart your computer.

Changed from 2 to 0.

Thanks Again
