When I manually set the TCP/IP address on the Notebook to 192.168.0.10 -
subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, the two machines again would talk to each other
and Mapped Network Drives work just fine along with my Network Places.
However, still no internet connection from the Notebook.... understand that
there won't be until the Notebook gets the correct DHCP address from the
Desktop.


When you put #s in manually your overriding the DHCP


Now in my hacking around I manually scanned the Desktop with AVG just to
make sure that there was nothing there. To my surprise I found this:

Shell32.dll Change c:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll
hosts Change c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Now my question is why do these two files show "Change" when all the rest of
them show "OK"?

Is this because a virus or trojan horse got in there and changed something
or is it because these two items have been update by windows update? What
you think?

What influence would these two files have on the networtk, DHCP or system
operation if they were corrupted?
