i was trying to connect my G4 IMac to the internet through my laptop's internet connection, when i messed up a setting somewhere, when i check my wireless network status, it says 'manually configured' somewhere along the line, i messed up both that and my firewall, i restored my firewall to default settings, but i can't figure out how to fix my network connection

it still says that i'm connected to the network, but if i go to IE, or my server drive, i get 'this page cannot be displayed' crap

is there anybody who can help?

You can use system restore

Find out the name of the service using services.msc, then go into the registry and delete parameters

IE if service is called Wireless, then go to HKLM\system\CCS\services\Wireless\Parameters - delete the stuff here. the settings also might be under the GUID of your NIC in same registry key.
