Everytime I reboot my host machine my home networking stop working. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have to run the Networking Setup Wizzard everytime.

Well dude, you need to tell us a bit more about your setup. What hardware/software, etc. How its networked.

Well, I reinstalled XP today and it's working again (for now). My setup, lets see, Athlon XP 1800+, 256 MB ram, 3Com NIC, Norton Internet Security. How it's networked, standard home networking thing, the way the wizzard set it up. Host IP 192.168.0.1, client is dynamic now, I usually assign it to a static IP. I don't know what started going on with my system, it worked great for about 9 months. It's just been the last 2 or 3 months that it has been giving me headaches. As long as this new installation doesn't mess with me, I will be happy for a while I guess. What other information would you need? I would like to attempt to discover the root cause of this problem sometime. Thanks.

what are you networking the whole system with???

My 3com gateway would have to be reset everytime I shut the system and laptop down...final fix...new mother board has a wake on lan...so thier is always a connection to the gateway....other then that it s a peice of..:upset:

I am connecting one client to another host. Two systems only connected via a switch. I did try unplugging the switch to reset it and that didn't work. When it would stop working I would tryto ping between either one and get nothing. If I ran the network setup wizzard, everything would be fine until I rebooted the host. The client always worked with no problems at all. It was always my host system that has the internet connection on it. I feel like I am not being very explicit here, sorry.
