Unhappy Help! SP1 messed up my home network connection

Hello,
I need some help, and after reading some of your discussions, I thought this might be a great place to get some advice. I installed the XP SP1 (and stupidly didn't accept the uninstall option). Now my PC still connects to the internet, but the other two computers on my little LAN can't go online. I can ping my PC from the others, so there is communication.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, my kids are getting together a lynching party!

Have you tried the setting up a home/small office option in my network places?
Go through the proceedure and make the network setup disk.
Run the floppy on the other computers and all should be well.

Thumbs up Fixed it

Thanks for your suggestion. As it turned out, SP1 had somehow corrupted the drivers for my NICs. I re-installed the drivers from the disk and it fixed the problem!
