Trying to connect a notebook computer to LAN. I looked through Services and
did not find Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMPT) service. Since this
service is for transporting mail across the network it seems it should be
running. I ran Add/Remove software routine to load it onto the notebook and
it is still missing from the list of available services. Is there a
configuration setting needed?

SMTP is not a Service that's listed in services.msc by default.
Are you having a problem sending mail? What Mail Client are you using?
Post any error messages in their entirety.

I have two notebooks that I would like to connect to a LAN. One notebook is
connected to the LAN using 802.11g at 54mps and eth cable at 100mps. On the
other notebook the Local Area Connection, Activity Status shows packets being
sent but none received. I made a comparison of what services started on the
notebook that is connect to the sevices running on the notebook not
connected.

And if you connect the other laptop directly to the modem, bypassing the
router (or ICS)...?

I connected the notebook directly to the modem as you suggested. Then I ran
the Connection Wizard to change the connection from router to direct. The
notebook's status did n't change. It was still connected but could not
receive. Then I reconnected the notebook to the router and ran the
Connection Wizard again, clicked IE and Holy Cow it connected to the
Internet.
Thank you.

You wouldn't be running an SMTP service unless you were running a mail
server on your own machine. For Outlook, Thunderbird Pegasus or any
other email client that's not necessary. These things contact your
ISP's SMTP server to send mail.

Tip: Reinstall the router, then install the latest firmware update.
