Sharing A Network Connection
I'm a total dummy about networks and such so I hope this doesn't come across
sounding ignorant. We have a cable connection on a computer with XP, trying to share the connection through a 5 point hub with a computer with Vista and no luck. I've talked to the company that makes the computer and the cable company twice and neither can help me. Is there any website or anything that can walk me through this step by step? Any help if very much appreciated!! Thanks.

Sharing A Network Connection
Are you trying to get both the computers to browse the internet?

Sharing A Network Connection
What you want to do is get a router.
Like a Linksys, Netgear, or DLink. What this will do is allow you to connect as many computers you want behind the router. The cable company only issues you one IP address, so only one computer can get out on the internet. Most of these routes will also have a switch built in, which will be faster than the hub you have. Hope this helps, OKuma "Desiree" wrote in message news  Yes. At this point, one is able to access the internet and one is not.
