You typically do not need to do that. Puppy has so many run options. Please explain in more detail things like:

Type of internet connection - DSL - dialup - NIC - wireless

Type of run method (off CD-ROM with pup001 file, USB device, and etcetra.

Any ideas why you think it needs to be setup each time??

installed to hard drive
network connected to a winxp computer which is connected to cable internet.
i have a link to my xp machine on my desktop, when i reboot it has ERROR under the icon for the link.
i then have to go into samba neighborhood and mount and add the xp machine again to get the error to go away.
i can then see all files on xp machine.

on the other hand the xp cannot see the puppy machine files, mp3s, jpeg, etc. any way to make this happen?

thanks chris
