This tweak is for broad band cable connections on stand alone
machines with WinXP professional version - might work on Home
version also. It may also work with networked machines as well.
This tweak assumes that you have let WinXP create a connection on
install for your cable modem/NIC combination and that your
connection has tcp/ip - QoS - file and print sharing - and client
for Microsoft networks , only, installed. It also assumes that
WinXP will detect your NIC and has in-box drivers for it. If it
doesn't do not try this.
In the "My Network Places" properties (right-click on the desktop
icon and choose properties), highlight the connection
then at the menu bar choose "Advanced" then "Advanced Settings".
Uncheck the two boxes in the lower half for the
bindings for File and Printer sharing and Client for MS
networks. Click OK.
