I have 3 PCs at home, the first one has a regular dial-up connection and a LAN Adapter, I configured the dial-up for Internet Sharing and the LAN Adapter has an static IP of 192.168.0.1/24, this PC is connected to an unmanaged Belkin switch, the switch has two more Windows XP Pro computers and I configure their LAN adapters for DHCP, when I try to enable the LAN adapter on these 2 computers it says "Acquiring IP address" and then gives me an exclamation sign on the LAN icon which says "Limited or Null connectivity". I disabled the Firewalls and replaced the cabling with no luck... sometimes it works flawless but then it fails upon the next reboot of either PC. I would say it will work after 20 attempts of disabling the NIC and rebooting the PCs Config is very simple, I have them configured on the same Workgroup.. Please advise, --Rafael
