Hi,
Today Time Warner came and installed Earthlink Highspeed cable internet in my house, on one computer, it works great....but I want it on my other pc too, so i wanted to network my two computers together(One is running Windows XP Home, and the Other Windows Millenium) The one with Windows Millenium has the cable connection right now. I attempted two things to get them networked....first i tried using a networking hub...(Which somebody gave to me..) only to find out you cant use a hub to network cable internet(having the cable modem hooked directly too the hub, and the other pc's on the hub too) then I tried what the MS support guy told me to do, I put two Ethernet cards in the Millenium pc, one card having the cable modem hooked too, and the other being networked to my other pc.....this didnt turn out well....I tried setting up home networking in win xp to get the shared internet from the other pc..but when i used the Network Setup floppy on the Millenium pc, it didnt give me the option to share the connection with Windows XP....so now I'm stuck....what do i do? Should I just go buy a Network Router? or can some one help me?
well I hope somebody can.....thanks
Sorry so long!
P.S. I'll be happy with any replies....though I cant really try anything right now....first day of High-speed service...and guess what?? Supposedly my entire areas cable service is out! Thats what i found out after being on the tech support line for 2 hours and being transfered a million times(I though I messed the connection up...ended up service wasnt working anyway..lol)
