Hi

System details:

Host PC: Win 98 First Edition connected to wireless router via cable
Client PC: Win 98 SE with wireless ethernet card
Client PC: Win XP Home with wireless ethernet card

I have a wireless network that worked faultlessly until I had a virus on the
host (Win 98) PC. The virus has gone, but the network problem persists.

The workgroup name (HOME) is no longer seen in Network Neighborhood, and
none of the other PCs can be seen either. This is the same for all 3 PCs on
the network

They can all access the Internet via the wireless router, so the router
isn't the problem. The problem, I think, is with the host PC

I've been into Control Panel and checked the Network settings, and I believe
they are the same as before. I don't see any problem with them

Any ideas gratefully received

Thanks

Pete

Actually, there's something I've only just remembered. After the virus
infection, I installed Zonealarm. Is it possible that may have been the
cause, rather than the virus. I've uninstalled Zonealarm, but the problem
is still there
