    Home LAN

    I have had a sucessful LAN set up between me and my two other housemates for about six months. Following a serious worm infection I had deleted my current internet connection, and created another one. Now, however, I cannot get the internet to work on the other computers on the LAN.

    I check out what might be the problme and its seems to be the network bridge. ON the other two computers I cannot enable it, since it is - for some reason - set to disabled.

    What should I do?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Have you tried right clicking on it and enabling it?

    I presume you're using XP, otherwise I haven't the foggiest.

    Otherwise you could try deleting all the network connections on all the systems and running the new network wizard (hasn't failed me yet)

    Yeah, that what I have tried to do, but after pressing enabling, it ses connection failed.

    I am using XP yes.

    Should I just re-run the network connection wizard then?
