I have a home peer to peer network (5 PC's all running win XP) and use microsoft
ICS to enable all of them to access my cable modem attached to my "gateway PC".
It has worked well for 2 years. Now the problem. My son left for college and took
his computer which was the "gateway PC". I moved another computer which was on the
peer to peer network to the "gateway" position. That computer can now access the
internet but not share the connection. The wizard in XP for setting up ICS reports
it is unable to setup ICS, When I run "repair" on the network connection to my home
PTP network , I get a; cannot return IP adress error message. When I run ipconfig
as suggested elsewhere on this forum I get the message: an error occured when recovering
interface "tnc" unable to contact your CHCP server request has timed out. When I
rey to change the properties of my network cards, When I hit the advanced tab, I
get the message: windows cannot display the properties of this connection. The WMI
information might be corrupted. How can I reset the WMI? or how can I remove all
networking files so I can set them up a second time? Thanks
