Network Wizard AWOL

I am trying to walk through the "Troubleshooting file and printer sharing"
instructions on the Microsoft web site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308007
But only one of my computers (the desktop, not the laptop) has a Network
Setup Wizard. Both run Windows XP Professional ver 5.1 service pack 2
(although the desktop is an older build). My laptop is a commuter, so the IT
guys at work have done whatever they do to it. But I asked them about this
wizard and they deny doing anything to disable the Network Setup Wizard. Any
ideas?

Hi
If the computer is set for work's Network you should leave it alone unless
the IT people are willing to set it for you.
