Configure the network adapters on both the PCs in Half Duplex mode and verify if this resolves the issue. This can be done as follows: -\nStep 1: Go to Start> Control Panel > and select Network connections.\n\nStep 2: Right click on your network card (for 2000 and XP only)and select Properties.\n\nStep 3: Select the Configure button.\n\nStep 4: Under the Advanced tab you will see two boxes; Property and Value. \n\nNote: Depending on the type of Ethernet card you are using the headings in the Property box will be slightly different.\n\nStep 5: Select each heading in the Properties box until the Value box displays the speed of your Ethernet card (it will look like this: Auto-Negotiation, 10Mb Full, 100 MB Half, etc..). You want to select 10mb Full Duplex.\n\nStep 6: Keep clicking OK until you get to the desktop. Your computer may ask you to reboot depending on the version of Windows you are running.

Enable the wireless card to accept connections.\n\nThat should be it. Also you have to have SP2 for Windows\nIt sorts out any wireless problems

Those DSL modems will only connect with Ehternet or USB, not both at the same time.  You will need to connect the two computers with Ethernet to share the DSL connection.  XP has an Internet Connection Sharing wizard for setting this up.  You can also buy an Internet Gateway router.  This will give you better download speeds on a shared connection as the router does all of the work, not the computer that is connected to the Internet and sharing a connection.  Linksys manufactures these and you can buy them @ Wal-Mart for about $50.

Windows ME you mean?\n\nYes of course - either buy an ethernet cross-over cable and network them together, or plug them both into a networking switch.\n\nAssign them both similar IP addresses ie\n\n192.168.1.1 for the PC\n255.255.255.0 subnet mask\n\n192.168.1.2 for the laptop\n255.255.255.0\n\nMake sure they're both in the same workgroup and all you need to do now is share the files and you're done.

Yes I have 2 workgroups here on my network - Home and Workgroup, however if you mix versions of Windows, you often have to do a 'Search' in XP before a Win 95/98 PC will see the rest of the network

where you connect the cable to the computers you should see a light - if that light is not lit you may have the wrong type of cable.\n\n(There are two types of cable: cross over and straight through)\n\nYou specifically need a cross over cable to connect twop computers together directly.\n\n\nFor steps with windows XP: you'll find this site has the answer you need: http://www.geekgirls.com/windowsxp_home_network.htm

I Have the same model.\nI Really like it!\nWe even host our home web page behind it.\n\nWhen you say that you have Internet access but not WAN access, it kind of raises a couple of questions to me.\n\nDo all of the PCs connected to your Router have internet access? In other words, there isn't a connectivity problem or a set-up problem?\n\nHave you enabled file and print sharing? And have you set the permissions for the files and folders that you want to share?\n\nThere are two other things you may want to check.\n\n1. Make sure that your router is set up to provide "DHCP" on the LAN side.\n\n2. Make suer that your PC's are set up as DHCP clients when you connect them to your router.\n\nThe only port that you really MUST have open for your PC's to share an internet connection is port 80 (On the router).\n\nYou don't really need to open any other ports unless you are using FTP, or VPN, or a communications/sharing program like PC-Anywhere.\n\nYou router will deal with Ports being open to the WAN (Internet )side of your network, not the LAN (PC) side. \n\nAlso, if your are running different Operating Systems on your different PCs, there may be some file-sharing issues.\n\nFor instance, I have Windows 2000 on one machine, Windows XP on another machine, an Windows 98 on a third. The Windows 98 machine is the weakest member of my network, and can't easily do all of the file and printer sharing that the other 2 can do.\n\nI will allow e-mail for the rest of today, in case you have more questions or need documentation. I will be available at around 4 PM Central Time.\n\n\nGood Luck!\nI hope this helps!

To connect a pc directly to a pc you need a Crossover Network cable and also enable networking on both. \n\nElse, you'll have to use a router and set up LAN.

Try Zonealarm. There's a free version and a version that you have to pay for:\n\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com\n\nAlso, remeber that XP SP2 comes with a built in firewall. You can turn it on by using the Security Center in the Control Panel.\n\nHope this Helps!!
