Are you using windows live one care.
Did you check the rest of the settings I posted?
instead of a wipe and install = could try a repair

Hi Cassandra. I know I had a similar problem. I had to set my router to be used as an access point @ the web based administration page to be able to access the xp machine through the network.
Then I downloaded the LLTD Responder suggested by Microsoft. -- http://technet2.micr...3.mspx?mfr=true


Some other downloads like the Network Diagnostic Tool might help. --- http://www.microsoft...;displaylang=en

This is what worked:


1. Click Start, and then click Network. (Or you can click Start, type ncpa.cpl into the search box, and press ENTER).
2. Click on the Network and Sharing Center, and then click Manage Network Connections.
3. Right click on the Local Area Connection or the connection you are using.
4. Select the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
5. Click the Advanced button under the General tab.
6. Click the WINS tab.
7. Click the Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP button.
8. Click Ok.



I can't thank you enough Peterm!!!
