hi im new to these forums ^^ and just to let you know i am some what of a newbie when it comes to hardware n such....
but ne ways to my problem
my room mate bought a computer yesterday and he had an old router which he insists still works...its a Netgear EN 104 tp. what happens when we try to hook up the computers to it is this....the 1st computer hooked into the router recieves a connection but the 2nd computer plugged in doesnt. individually the router works for both computers just not at the same time =/ this router does not require any software which makes me think there is some sort of setting that needs to be changed on the computers to recognize the connection. i do not know anything about networking and dont even know if networking has anything to do with my problem. pls bear with my ignorence. any help you can provide will be most appreciated.
p.s. no my room mate doesnt have the owners manual for the router ne more =/
thanx alot for your time.
