All of the computers were bought new with XP and the drivers are the drivers
that have always been installed so I'm assuming that the answer is yes. The
laptop is a Dell Inspiron with their TruMobil wireless adapter. One of the
desktops is a new e-Machine and its ethernet adapter is connected to a
Linksys wireless transmitter and the third is a Sony Vaio and its ethernet
connecter goes directly into the back of the Linksys wireless access point.
The dsl modem (actually a Cisco 678 router) is connected to the WAP as well.
The WAP is both WAP and 4-port switch.
Yesterday, the dsl modem was showing up correctly on all three computers
under My Network Connections and could be enabled and/or disabled from any
of them. The only difference between then and now is that I applied sp2 to
each of them. As I mentioned in my first message, I have disabled the
windows firewall feature but it made no difference.
