I have 2 computers running xp pro just formatted and reinstalled about a month ago everything on network was great before with same setup . Now I have one cable modem with a hub and two ip addresses, cable modem connects to hub and both computer connect to hub and both computers access the internet and the other computer. Now heres the problem I can no longer access any network options I open the "My network places" and it is empty if I go to properties of to network places it will not open , no errors just want open. Have the same thing on both computers they can both access the internet but cant see one another. I cant turn off xp's firewall or install or delete any thing to do with the network. I am logged on as adminastrator. also tried disconnecting one computer at a time to see if I could get into the network settings but could not.
 
Welcome to the forum:happy:

What happens if you click on 'view netwok connections' in the 'my network places'?
 
computer just freezes for about 30 secs.

I formated one computer and its working great now.
so I guess I'll format the 2nd too. I think its something to do with one of windows updates I installed. So i'm not going to update anymore.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
