I have 2 Win XP Home SP2 machines connected wireless to Interned via a
router. While running a network wizzard, I get an error message <The Routing
and Remote Access service terminated with service-specific error 2147483720
(0x80000048)>. However, the Remote Access Service is Started in the System
log.
May someone please help me to set up a home network?
Thanks.

Despite what Windows XP tells you, you don't have to run the Network
Setup Wizard. You can make the network settings manually. In fact,
the default settings usually work.

Make sure that any firewall program is configured to allow access by
other computers on the local area network.

To specify a computer name and workgroup name, right-click My Computer
and click Properties > Computer Name > Change.

To share a disk or folder, right-click it and click Sharing and
Security.

To access a shared disk or folder on the other computer, type the name
in the Start > Run box in this format:

\\computer\share
