installing client for Microsoft Networking
I have a Linksys wireless router and a cable internet connection. One computer is hardwired into the router. The router and the hardwired computer are propertly configured and are connecting to the internet with no problem. My problem is this, in my Local Area connection properties, I am not able to install the "client for Microsoft Networking" or " file and printer sharing". I am receiving error messages when trying to connect any of my wireless computers to the network. I have reinstalled windows xp and continue to have the same problem. Dell technicians gave up. Any ideas?
- I did both of those things. Client for Microsoft Networking cannot be checked. When I try to reinstall the network drivers, I get a message that the drivers cannot be found. Would they be on a disk other than the Windows XP or the Dell Drivers disk I was given?
Go back ot the Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and look on the left hand side of th box where it says Add/Remove Windows Components. Open that box and Add Networking Compnenets and this should now give you the ability to add the clients.
Do you have a working netwrok card in the box?
- The Dell technician tested the card network card and said it was working fine. I also already tried adding windows networking components but they were already added. Any other suggestions would be welcome. I know this should be simple but it's not working.

What was the procedure you were given? You should right click the adapter and go to properties.
Click Instal and work your way thru the wizard. This really isn' that difficult and should have been installed by default if you re-installed XP and answered "Yes" to the Networking Questions.
