I have a home network consisting of two computers running Windows Me. Computer #1 has a dialup connection to the ISP and a printer attached to it. Computer #1 shared internet connection and printer with computer #2. All was working well until files in computer #1 got corupted.

I formatted computer #1 and reinstalled Me. Then continued to install my network with the wizard (same as I did in the past and was sucessful). After installing and rebooting the system, a window pops up and indicates a sucessful installation and "MS Home" was running. However, I could not see my other computer #2.

The ethernet card is working and computer #2 was turned on. Also, computer #2 could not find computer #1. It appears that computer #1 is missing a service, protocol, and/or the adapter is not reconized. My questions:

1. What protocol are needed to run the network?
2. What services are needed to run the network?
3. What adapter must binded to run the network?

Thanks
