i have no problems with setting up home networks(i have had 3 desktops and laptop networked at home many times over) but i have just installed a fresh copy of xp(it was win2000pro before) onto one of my towers in readyness for buying a product key next week from local computer shop.
as i'm in the 30 day activation period.- does this prevent the networking capabilities from working until it's fully activated? as i have checked all the settings(inc firewall) but still no joy with the tower in question.
