Hi All
Well i installed the network card in my main pc and ran the network wizard
on both pcs ..The refurbished pc has an existing network rj45 on
board..Cant  get them to talk to each other..
I have now installed a 8 way hub but still no joy...Noticed on power up of
my main pc it detects the ethernet card but bring up a message that it cant
set it up and closes the wizard...
Help......
Frank

PS...The geen leds on the hub marked 10/100 flash on and off?????

Hi All
Im about to have my first go at pc networking and need some
guidance. I purchased a refurbished computer for my sons to use and the
young guy in the shop told me i dont need any hubs or routers at this stage
since theres only 2 computers involved..I bought 2 network cards and the
guy
said its just a matter of using the install wizard on the second computer
(didnt mention my main computer)..Do i need to use the wizard on the main
computer..??? (ip addresses???).........
The main computer has the broadband modem on it and i have been told i need
to leave my main computer on for the second pc to have internet access..???
This will keep the boys happy and also allow me to continue with my  xPL
development as i will be able to use Tonys Monitor with Ians Sender so any
suggestions much appreciated...
It  i dont post in the next few days you know whats happened..........
Thanks
Frank
