- Windows XP Network >> share internet connectioni am using windows xp pro, one of pc is connected via adsl to the internet
and my notebook is connected via a second network card.
i want to share the internet connection so i can use the notebook for
internet aswell, i cant use the internet sharing option from microsoft
because it wants to change my network settings on my outgoing network and i
dont want to use 3rd party software like winroute. is there a way to share
the internet connection without changing the network settings on the
outgoing network card? is there a way to use nat without having 3rd party
software?

- Windows XP >> Can't establish a network.Right clicking a folder on my system and selecting "Sharing and Security"
from the displayed menu yields a dialog box that has no "Share this folder
on the network" checkbox available. Is this OK?
On the same display is the statement "As a security measure, Windows has
disabled remote access to this computer. However, you can enable remote
access and safely share files by running the 'Network Setup Wizard'". I've
run the 'Network Setup Wizard', and it fails to establish a network, as
evidenced by the fact that again selecting "Sharing and Security" yields the
same screen as described above, with no changes.
I'm running Win'XP Home on two machines. I have firewalls disabled on both
machines.
I'm successfully pinging each PC one from the other.
What do I do? How do I create a network? I am trying to set it up so that
I can share folders on one machine with another.

- Windows XP Setup >> Can I Do This?I am currently running 98 SE. Every week I clone my HDD to an identical
HDD in an external case which converts IDE to USB. When I get into serious
trouble, I just swap drives.
I plan to format the internal HDD and do a clean install of XP Home SP2,
not an upgrade install. Completely clean with only the HDD and the CD-ROM
connected.
I would then like to "import" (?) programs and settings from the external
drive in order to save me the trouble of reinstalling programs. The
external HDD will run under XP without drivers.
Can I do this?

- Windows XP >> Trouble with cut and paste or copy and pasteI have Windows XP and the standard suite of Microsoft Office products. I
have had no trouble with my system until today. Any text I highlight and try
to cut and paste or copy and paste will not allow the operation to complete.
I can highlight the text fine, but when I go to the document I want to move
it to (or within the same document), the "Paste" function remains gray and
will not complete the copy, cut or paste operation. This problem is for all
text, be it in a MS Word document or if it is text on a website.
I have the latest virus protection and ran a deep scan just to make sure I
did not pick up a virus. My system is clean.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

On my XP laptop, when I switch from AC power to battery, the WiFi network

Does anyone know of a way to either stop this happening, or automate this

Windows XP >> home page keeps changing
Sounds like spyware or a home page hijacker.
Run these tools:
spybot -- http://www.safer-networking.org/
ad-aware -- http://www.lavasoftusa.com/

As far as I can tell, VPN seems to be the best way to do

but cannot figure out how to make a connection.
If anyone has any suggestions they would be much
appreciated.

- Windows XP Support >> Help and Support Center launches constantlyMy Help and Support Center launches automatically hundreds of times a
day, and I haven't been able to find a fix.
I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell Invision laptop. In the
office I have it docked, and use a Microsoft Wireless Multimedia
Keyboard and Mouse. The launching happens while I am typing -
expecially if I am typing information into a dialog box. The first
keystroke doesn't trigger it, but the second one does. It also launches
when I use the shift key and the backspace (but not only during these
operations - these are just the ones I've noticed specifically).
I have checked to make sure that Help and Support is in Manual Launch
mode, which it is. I have even tried to disable it entirely, but then I
just get an error message when it wants to launch. I have also
downloaded fixes that were supposed to work, but nothing makes any
difference.
This has been driving me crazy since August - please help!

- Windows XP Security >> [LONG] Weird problem, hijack logfile includedHi everyone, i'm having a strange problem with my gf pc, it had some
spywares that i removed (in safe mode, with the tools below) but it
still freezes when uploading stuff to the internet (over isdn) and
windows networking starts doing weird things, it becomes unable to
disconnect from the internet, the connection stuff freezes or doesnt
opens, if i delete Winsock/Winsock2 keys in the registry and then i
reinstall tcp/ip it works, but after a reboot it does the same thing again.
The freeze during upload happens only on the isdn connection, the lan
connection works well, but the ethernet card was installed after the
problem, when i get this pc at my home.
I removed all the bad stuff that was at boot (in safe mode), i'm running
avast adaware adwatch spybot, cwsshredder, hijackthis and microsoft
antispybot, and i even tried the utility winsockxpfix & lspfix (without
finding anything suspect) but the problem is still here
