    Can't even 'ping' between 2 machines

    Woohoo! - I got it working again. This makes no sense whatever to me but I'll post it and see if it makes any sense to you guys.... My PC actually has 3 x primary partitions, allowing me to boot into Windows XP, 2000 or 98 respectively. After removing my friend's Belkin software none of these...

After re-installing the hardware drivers I even ran the SOHO network setup wizard (which worked fine on both machines) but they still can't...

    Can't even 'ping' between 2 machines

    Up until a few days ago I had 2 machines networked on a peer-to-peer basis using 10/100 Base-T. I then disconnected it temporarily to try out a Belkin wireless LAN which a friend had not managed to install on his machines. The Belkin stuff worked fine so I uninstalled it and plugged my...
