Hey,
Currently I have 2 computers using XP pro hooked up through a hub. The hub is then connected to a dsl modem.
Both computers were set up using the windows home network wizard. In the setup I selected the option that said that the network did not connect to the internet and I am not using ICS.
One of the computers is bridged, probably because I have an sound blaster audigy, I disabled the 1394 connection, however, the local area connection is still bridged, and there is a seperate icon called "Network bridge" MAC Bridge Miniport (Can I disable this??). The second computer does not have a bridge.
Now the problem is that both computers cannot connect to the internet at the same time. Before I set up the network this was not a problem. Also when both computers used win 98 se it was not a problem either.
I've also noticed that when one of the computers is on the internet, the second computer cannot connect to the internet for some time even when the other computer disconects and shuts off. The computer can also boot up again and easily get back on the internet. This happens on either computer.
Example:
Computer 1: Connects to the internet
Computer 2: Attempts to connect to internet while computer 1 is connected, which of course fails.
Computer 1: Disconnects and shuts off
Computer 2: Attemps to connect but still can't and times out
Computer 1: Boots up again and connects to the internet without problems.
Computer 2: Still attemps to connect
Now after 20-40 min the other computer can finally connec. (however the first computer cannot be connected. Note this happens to both computers.
Any ideas what I need to do?? Do I need to assign an I.P on the networks connection or my internet connection.
Thanks
