Get a router, like $49 or something. Uplug the cable modem. Plug in your ethernet cables to the router, configure it to work...DHCP WITH NAT. And set it up as a dhcp server. Plug back in your cable modem after you plug in it's ethernet cable to your router's wan port. You should now have eveything working. BTW, HP tech support told me to run a batch command yesterday to figure out why my cursed restore disk didnt' work any more. It ERASED MY PARTITION TABLE. I was ready to spit nails. The last back-up is a month old, that is my fault; but do you THINK that maybe you'd get a warning that you we're running more than just a diagnostic? I EXPLAINED that both OS's worked fine, but I was going to be resizing my XP partition and wanted to be able to start from scratch. But does anyone listen, no! So, they wanted me to send in my laptop to be "reimaged" I'd be without it for a week. It's bad enough that I've lost my books database (can't FIND that back up, I hate moving stuff around); but you want me to send in a laptop to get a bit changed on the bios so my computer will match the restore disk (a bios update created the incompatability)!!! Guess what you can do with THAT idea. I asked for a full version of XP to be sent to me, "I'm sorry, the license we have don't allow us to do that." I asked that if I sent in my laptop could I get it formatted in fat32 instead of blasted ntfs, "I'm sorry were not set up for that." The fex-ex guy came for my laptop and I said, "I'm sorry, it's not going anywhere." Guess what OS is no longer on my system? I am so fed up at being treated like a criminal by companies that I give my MONEY to that I'm not interested in playing anymore. I DO have win98 installed via win4lin, for ONE program; but hopefully even that will one day have a linux version. Here's and idea, we should have a "burn all your MS licenses day." I am so ticked off at this whole situation. And at myself for not backing up sooner. Wes On Friday 20 September 2002 23:14, zimmguy@netscape.net wrote:

I was wondering what I am doing wrong? I have 2 PC's one with Win98 and one with WinME (I know they both suck... but beyond that). When Charter came they installed their software and modem to only one PC, (The other hadn't arrived yet). Now I am trying to network the two together, I have a HUB, and eithernet cards, and cables, is there some other piece of hardware I am missing? Or do I need some software support. In my area for charter to do anything it's 75 bucks a half hour to come out... all they left me with was a modem, and one small cord? Do I need software, or maybe just some configuration advice? Help please.
