here is an answer i was able to get, hope this helps.

The first thing you did wrong was "upgrading"... i know from first hand experience this does not work. Especially between win2k and XP, Second, Media and Home are NOT network friendly at all, especially if you are using different clients such as win2k. Windows XP (pro or home) does not like the Administrator password to be blank. I would do this, start up the computer in safe mode (not with networking). Go to users in control panel, make sure that Admin has a password, also go into the security/ filrewall and make sure you have the "file and printer sharing" turned on for any network adapter. Also you may want to try a good registry cleaner.

as for the wireless network wizard, i would try that cause my D-Link DL-524 would not work when using the cd that came along with it, it kept on blanking out the ip address for the cable modem, and their Level 2 tech support said i was screwed. it works fine after i ran the wireless network wizard.
