Thanks in advance for anyone's assistance... here's my issue. I had a network

I have 2 PCs both running Win-XP SP2. I have an internet connection via
a DSL cable modem (Motorola SURFBoard); the connection is working great
with one PC, and I wanted to share this connection with the other PC as
well.

I want to remove the driver for my NIC and reinstall it fresh to try and
clear up a hardware-type bug in my system.

       I'm going to network my desktop with my laptop this weekend. After I
