Hi everyone,

I have a network set up at home consisting of one Win 2000 machine, one Win 98 SE machine, and a cable modem. I managed to get the network working fine with printer/file sharing by reading previous posts in this forum.

What I want to do is share the cable connection so that only the computer accessing the internet has to be on, or both computers can access it simultaneously. I have the cable modem plugged into the uplink port of my D-Link hub (as the manual recommends). My cable company provides two IP addresses with the connection, so I figure this should be easy. And yet I can't seem to figure out the trick to it.

I can access the internet from only the Win 2000 machine. I'm able to change network settings on the Win 98 machine to get internet access, but I run into a lot of problems with IP address conflicts if the Win 2000 machine is turned on.

Can someone please tell me how to set up two machines?
