Re: Problem after using Network Setup Wizard

The device you are referring to (Netopia 3341) is indeed a router. I
would not recommend using ICS to share the Internet connection. The
connection diagram should be as follows:

modem---netopia 3341---hub---computer 1
|
computer 2

The DHCP service on the router should be able to assign a unique IP
address to each computer.

Help!
After apparently setting up a small network successfully on my PC, under
Administrator profile, I get the following error message when I click on the
network name ('Homeoffice') within My Network Places:
<Homeoffice is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this
network resource etc....>.
I also get <Request timed out> messages when I ping the Ethernet network
adaptor IP address.

Background info: Dell Dimension P4 2.4Ghz 1Gb RAM, XP Pro SP2; Cayman
Netopia 3341 network adaptor (not router) using USB connection to PC; this PC
as ICS computer for network. A second PC shows works fine after setting a
mathcing 'Homeoffice' network i.e. no error message when I click on the
network name ('Homeoffice') within My Network Places on this PC (shows this
PC only, although both PCs are connected through an Ethernet hub separate
from the Internet network adaptor mentioned above), and pings correctly.
