Had left the computer to download, but the power faliure occured & the computer must have been shut down after the backup power was spent.

After that I lost my wifi connection, I could not ping each other, though I am getting the signal & the icon in the task bar shows connected at 54mbps.

On my desktop I cannot open network adaptor which has the TCP/ip settings.

It causes Explorer.exe generated error.

The event log is as follows.

I cannot delete the wifi network connection nor I can open the TCP/ip to check. I tried disabling it but I still cannot delete it & make a new connection.

How can I restore back the old settings or else reinstal the TCP/IP.
I am using win 2000 SP4

Ok I uninstalled the wifi & reinstalled the hardware & software.
That solved the problem, but now 2 computers can ping each other & are connected but I cant share the internet.

Internet sharing was enablen earlier & it still is after I reinstalled it.

What is preventing the internet connection to share.
