Limited or No connectivity

Nov 17, 2004 8:03AM PST

I have 2 Win XP Pro SP2 machines networked at home, before installing SP2 they worked just fine, now I get the Limited message for the network....I've searched about it on the Microsoft website and they only tell you how to turn the message off....well I don't want to turn the freakin message off, I want to fix it....firewall for the internal network is off (so I have full access to both computers) I've run the network setup wizard on both computers and not helping...I've checked the protocols and tcp/ip settings....why don't anything work???
