cable/hub/xp/98 question

[jayc021]

i just got connected to RR, i got 2 IP addresses 4 my pc's, 1 winxp & 1 win98, i have both pc's connectin to the cable modem through a hub(switch hub) and i wanted both pc's to see each other as a network. i tried the wizard that xp has, every option it gives u, but no luck neither of them see each other at all, both pc's dont have static ip's. Can i make the ip's that RR gives me static ip's to both my pc's, i know i have to setup the gateway;dns;etc. after that will both pc's see each other?

setup:................................../winxp

cable modem = switch hub <.......both w/ linksys 10/100 Networkcard

(toshiba).....(linksys)..............win98

I had the same problem that your having. I found that going into the local network card properties and disable the authentication access control,allowed the XP to have access to the network. My only problem now is my McAfee firewall won't let the Win98 go to the Internet through the XP without allowing all.

Hope this help you out.
