Same thing here and it drove me nuts. I uninstalled printer drivers, turned
off the firewall, and it'd still hang then give me an error message. One
thing I have noted on my XP Pro machine is that if firewall is enabled when
I try to set up a new connection everything goes to hell in a handbasket.
IIRC it was an issue with needing more client/services to be installed or
turned on. Here's what I have under "connection uses the following items)
in the properties window, general tab, of my network connection (settings
are the same for my LAN and my wireless):
Client for Microsoft Networks
Service Advertising Protocol
File & Printer Sharing for MS Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Microsoft IPv6 Developer Edition
NWLink BIOS
NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS
3Com BCAITDI DMI TDI
Internet Protocol
Basically I "installed" (click install button under window) every client,
service & protocol that Windows had available and it seemed to fix the
problem. I don't know what some of those things do because I just needed to
get my home network up & running. I really ought to look into a couple of
them but this was the solution for me.
