Last thought. Could be an IP conflict. Or the lack of a valid
DNS server. Check DHCP is enabled.
My XP is in Portuguese so the translation might suck:
Right click on my network places ---> Right click on Local
Connection --> Choose Properties --> Double Click TCP/IP ---> check
the boxes "Obtain an IP automatically" and "Obtain a DNS address
automatically" are checked
If the computer is not asking the router for an IP and DNS, it
probably won't work. Hence the near zero activity.
