Netsetup.exe xp

You can do just what NetSetup. Install any missing network components , from Network Neighbourhood - Properties - Configuration. Note that the Network Setup Wizard only makes very basic system settings, and doesn't check for the presence and configuration of other computers on the network.

If you run the Wizard, and you don't get the results that you expect, you'll need to read either Troubleshooting Network Neighborhood Problems for local access problems , or Troubleshooting Internet Service Problems for Internet access problems. You may also benefit from reading Solving Network Problems. Be persistent. If you cannot run either NetSetup. On a computer with Windows , or in any other case where neither netsetup nor the wizard can be used, you can make all settings manually.

Communication to and from the Internet to all the computers on your network are sent through this computer, called the ICS host computer. Please don't ever connect an unprotected computer to the Internet. Note the other disadvantages and requirements of ICS.

You'll have to have two separate network connections one might be a modem, directly connected. You'll indicate which connection is to be used to connect to the Internet. Other connections on the computer will then be used for sharing the service.

This computer is part of a home or small office network that connects to the Internet through another computer on the network or using a residential gateway i.

If you have another computer on your network that shares its Internet connection, called the ICS host computer, this computer will be able to send and receive e-mail and access the Web, as if it were connected directly to the Internet. A residential gateway is a hardware device that works similarly to a host computer.

Typically, a DSL or cable modem connects to the Internet service, and the residential gateway connects to the modem. Internet communication is shared by the residential gateway to all of the computers on your network. Multiple Direct Internet Connections This computer connects to the Internet directly or through a network hub. This network configuration typically has an external DSL or cable modem connected to an Ethernet network hub.

The other computers on your network are also connected to the network hub. Each computer on the network has a direct connection to the Internet by means of the network hub and DSL or cable modem. I do not recommend this network configuration. It exposes all computers on the network directly to the Internet, creating potential security problems.

I highly recommend that you use a secure host device, such as a computer running Windows XP with ICS and Windows Firewall enabled, or using a residential gateway. As a Directly Connected Client, the wizard will perform steps , then 10, from the list of Actions below.

Select this option if you only have one computer and it has an Internet connection. The Network Setup Wizard configures this computer to use Windows Firewall , to protect your computer from intrusions from the Internet. Select this option if you have two or more computers networked together, but don't have an Internet connection.

We have not started configuring anything just yet so reinstalling won't be much of a headache. However, if we can download the correct installer or maintenance update from the site that would be favorable. Thanks in advance. Re: Netsetup At this time, I think I will remove the software and try again. Thanks, Shenelle. The only difference in the install is that I had a working network connection when I ran the installer the second time.
