I have previously established a home network and internet sharing which was

I get the following in the network setup log when I try to recreate the
network:

Dawn,

Please be more specific with "my internet connection is no longer being shared".

How are the computers connected? Did you run the Network Setup Wizard? If so,
please review the correct NSW selections.
