I recently had to set up a new harddrive on my wireless computer. At first I
could log into the Internet through my Wireless Network Connection but could
not see my other wired computer. I then tried to set up a home network using
the wizard and now when I go to Network Connections I have an Internet
Gateway section which shows a WAN Connection and a LAN or High Speed
Internet section which shows a Local Area Connection, a 1394 Connection and a
Wireless Network Connection. I can now see my other computer but am not sure
about the WAN Connection. I don't think I had this before I set up the new
harddrive. If I right click on the WAN Connection and click Connect it seems
to disrupt my wireless connection and I cannot get on the Internet. Also,
when I right click it the Delete section is greyed out and I cannot delete
it. I know I have limited networking knowledge and you'll need more info but
how can I get rid of the WAN Connection?
Thanks

Hi
It hard to relate to your notions concerning WAN connection (that is the
Internet side of a Router) or any other Network issue since you did not
described any thing concerning your Network.
After installing new drive first you have to check the computer's Windows
Device manger to make sure that all the hardware have the right Drives and
it is working correctly. http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost
Then you have to re-do the network's shares since it might be that the
Network's IP assignments changed.
The computer's Firewall has to be checked too to make sure that nothing is
blocked post the new installation.
