Hi all--
I'm running a pretty simple network -- two Windows machines, both
running XP Pro SP 2, plus a printer, all connected to a Linux server
(Red Hat 9.0), which is the only machine connected directly to the web,

In WinXP Pro, I set up a share with my cable modem.   It is currently
showing "Shared" in the Network Connectionw window
I went to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs/Windows Components  and
there is no ICS to uninstall.

I keep getting the local area connection message in the lower corner of my
screen. It keeps telling me that a network cable is unplugged. It pops up and
then i loose connection with Aol instant messanger and yahoo messenger, but
they seem to be the only programs effected by it. ...

Hoping someone could help me out...

This happens to me at least once a day and I can't figure out why.  I can
run an ipconfig /all and it gives me IP information.  Also, I go into My
Network Places and it shows a connected status but when I go to launch IE I
get page can't be displayed.  All window and NIC updates ...

I get the error "unable to contact your DHCP server" when I do an ipconfig
/renew.  I'll get a 169 ip address which I know is wrong.  This used to work
for months and my laptop will work just fine.  So it must be a problem with
my desktop.  I have WinXP SP2.

I used to be networked at my office and my hard drive crashed.  I bought a
new hard drive, but in the interim used my laptop Win XP Home SP2.  I simply
plugged in the ethernet cable and when I wanted to view shared folders on the
server I went through the Add Network Place Wizard ...
