I have a windows xp (sp2) machine and a wireless network. My PC is the one
hooked up to the DSL router and the other computers have wireless routers.

I had to replace the hard drive on the main PC and rebuild all the software,
drivers, etc. Now I cannot set up the network using the wizard and the other
pd's can't see my PC.

What happened? The network card (hooked up to the DSL modem) is fine.
