I just reformated my hp pavilion ze5185 laptop. When ever i try to set up a network it says, "an error occurred during configuration of the network on this computer." Any help would ne nice, thanks

Again...the MSKB. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;291867 I feel as if I'm repeating myself. I feel as if I'm repeating myself.

that doesnt really help at all

How so? Did you view the log file to see what the problem may be? Did you look elsewhere on the MSKB?

The log file said "ICS failed to share 1934 connection as a private connection"

"When ever i try to set up a network it says, "an error occurred during configuration of the network on this computer." To provide help in this scenario, i.e. Homenetworking troubleshoot, all should be in the same page. In the original message or subsequent posts there has been no mention of the type of networking, the type of Internet access and the devices involved in the LAN and WAN to suggest the cause and cure of the problem. Unless we have had the exact error message, it will be very hard to offer help without a lot of guesswork of the setup and often it is a hit or miss thing. M

I get the same message as Andrew, i.e. "ICS failed to share 1394 connection as a private connection" I have a cable modem connected to a D-Link wireless router. Before I perform the Network Wizard, I have disabled the software firewalls I have running. When I run the Network wizard, I have a choice of "local area connection", "triad.rr.com", and "1394 connection". I choose the "local area connection". I have also tried disabling the 1394 net adapter. The two computers can ping each other. The entire nsw.log is: Network Setup Wizard Log Attempting to set computer name Old computer name is the same as new computer name - not setting. Setting server description (comment): Main Desktop Attempting to set workgroup name Workgroup name is the same as the old one - not setting. Will attempt to share public connection.
