I've been attempting to share files across two computers using a router. I came across the following site when searching the forums on information on how to do this:
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...rint_share.htm
Basically, I created that file called "lmhosts", and put it in the windows directory of both computers like it said. After doing that, I restarted both, again like it said, but one computer then went on a restart loop. Basically, it gets to the bit where you see the windows 98 logo, and then restarts itself.
I've been able to acess safe mode however. The first thing I did that to delete that file I put in, and restart the computer. That hasn't worked, so I'm not left with a PC that continually restarts and will only acess safe mode.
Please note though that just because I put in that file immediatly before all this happened, doesn't mean that was the cause. I'd been trying many settings to get the file/printer sharing to work, so could another option have caused this?
I'd be so grateful for any help - I've made a right mess.
Also note that I've done EXACTLY the same things that I've done on the windows 98 computer to this XP machine, and this one works fine, so I'm VERY confused.

), so I don't think I need anymore information on how to network, just how to get back onto windows without using safemode.
