Got that. I do that - can get internet connection but can
not see other computers, they can not see mine. have
enabled sharing on folders. workgroups and names are
consistent.

i have an ethernet card which uses 192.168.0.1 by default,
i can't seem to change it, i.e. i try , restart when i
check properties it is set back. if i uninstall it, then
my option for sharing on the linksys adapter disappears.

if you can't think of anything else, thanks for trying.
