i've been trying to share files across a network on my windows xp
machine.  my dsl connection connected directly to a router works fine,
until i run the network setup wizard.  i turn on file sharing, and as
soon as it finishes, i lose my internet connection.  cannot access my
router either.  when i run the router setup software, it says that my
network adapter is not working properly.  however, win xp says the
adapter is working properly in the hardware manager.  i have disabled
all my firewalls, so that is not the problem either.  any suggestions?
thanks...

Posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.
