> together. Three computers were using Vista, there are two TIVO wireless
> connections, and one HP wireless printer.

> card, a QX9650 processor, two Gig of Corsair memory, and a 1200 watt
> PCP&C power supply. (I have had a few problems with this combination,
> but it does seem to work, more or less. The ASUS mb has some tricky
> power saving and overclocking stuff on it.)

> As far as I can tell, the workgroup, SSID, etc. have all been set up the

> Network and Sharing center shows a connection to a "Public network"
> (which I change to private, but to no avail), but there is an X over the
> line from the LAN to the Internet.
>
> The only thing tricky (other than Network Magic) about this setup is
> that I have reserved IP numbers on the router. I found that this seemed
> to be necessary, or, at least useful, to avoid IP conflicts with the
> TIVO connections. After I reserved the IP numbers the problems with the
> TIVO connections disappeared.

> I don't know where to go from here short of installing Network Magic
> :( (Networking is not my forte!)
