Please log in for more thread options Hey, Brian.
Did you check out that all other services are turned off on your other
connections. Those can cause a conflict.
You can find services in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> computer
management -> services and applications -> services.
However, there is no longer a DHCP server process in XP pro or home. The
service that handles NAT, DHCP server, etc. is now called Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing and should be started automatically even
if you are not using the firewall features.
