I had RoadRunner through Time Warner set up today and I'm having trouble getting both computers on. I am using a NetGear hub and each computer has WinXP... one with Home and one with Pro. I set up the Home Networking Wizard on each computer and only one (with Pro installed) can connect. Here are some things I've done and noticed:
-the option i initially chose for the wizard was that the computer connects through a network hub. this didn't work so i said i connected through another computer or a residential gateway - this worked (for the Pro machine at least)
-i disabled the internet connection firewall on each (I use NIS)
-the IP address on the working machine is being assigned by DHCP, the other just says automatically configured
-i've tried different ports, checked the cable, still nothing
Can someone please give me some ideas on what to try next? I thought about getting a router, but I have friends that share RR through a hub on '98 machines and it works. I'd really appreciate any ideas... thanks!
