Hello
I'm diagnosing a XP Home machine not showing up on other machines via file sharing. I notice that the DHCP router provides an address for the hardwired network adapter as well as the wireless adapter when connecting via the wireless adapter. Thus this machine has two entries in DHCP while using only one wireless adapter. When the machine first boots up, it will show up in workgroup computers on other machines, but then promptly disappears. Since I have had a lot of problems with this machine I think there may be a hardware issue. But the machine was zapped at least twice by infestations of adware, spyware, etc. So networking was zapped repeatedly by porn dialers. Will appreciate any suggestions. |

Have you considered disabling one or the other adapter, then rebooting to
see if network conditions clear up? If you're using the built-in XP firewall you should disable it, if a third-party firewall is on the XP computer you may need to uninstall it for testing purposes. |

Hello,
You can not run 2 networks from the same source. It is only going to mess up your life. Disable the wireless network interface and you should be good to go. I have tried this with XP Pro and it messes up the same way. You are creating two paths to the same machine name and this is a no-no in IP land.
