I will copy my reply to the other reply to my message in answer to your
question
Thank you for your response.
I don't recall how to ping, will research it and try it.
I replaced a D-Link, model DI604 with the same brand and model, based on the
store's recommendation.
I had experienced infrequent inability to gain Internet access and through
process of elimination determined the problem was a probable faulty router.
I believe it was faulty, and probably had a short in it.
"lost ablility to connect" means the shortcut icons were present but
clicking same produced message, i.e. The drive or newtwork connection that
the "shortcut to WKS2 moved files.lnk" refers to is unavialable. Make sure
that the disk is propertly inserted or the newtwork resource is available,
and then try again. The shortcuts I used are on each computer. The same
results if I try to access through My Network Places, just faster to use the
shortcuts (when it works that is).
I have three machines, a Windows 98 SE desktop (secondary use, WKS 1),
laptop (WKS 3) with Windows 2000 and my primary workstation (WKS 2) with
Windows XP Home (oh, on your answer).
Yes, I can "see" the other computers on My Network Places on WKS 2 (XP) and
Network Neighborhood on WKS 1 (W-98).
I will now read the article you so kindly provided.
