Yes, I ran the network wizard and it just takes me to the screen that says I already have the network going and if I want to learn about file sharing and stuff.

Yes, I do have the firewall diabled on Windows XP and have my NPF disabled while I try to get the network going. I also have WEP disabled.

Honestly, I can bring up the network, it's just so unpredictable and tends to cut me off like AOL would. It operated all right for the first time when I had a couple of friends over and had them mess with it, but in the 3 hours of being here they could only make it work (the problem in the first place seemed to by my NPF, once that was disabled it all started working - until I tried to go online, then poof gone).
