I have finaly gotten xp and vista to network together with no trouble through
a hub/router/switch, I can see both computers from eatchother and run
programs between them no problem. The problem is i have a connection to the
internet with the vista computer but not the xp computer. If i try resetting
the router and cable modem what ever computer i load up first gets the
internet conection.I have to force the ip adderss by making it match within
on number the vista ip. basicly shove the network down vista's neck. I have
went into the vista computer and made sure i checked the box to make it so
that any computer on the network can surf the internet though its internet
connection but my xp still can not see the internet.

I have tried using command prompts to ping the internet and ping my gateway
but that is no good. On vista i can map it out and see the gateway but with
xp even when it has the internet connection i do no see the gateway. is there
something i am missing in the set up of the network and is tthere a fix
without updating to vista and or taking a axe to my vista computer i just
spent 2 grand on.

thanks for listening to my rant of the day. D.D.

1. what exact router are you using? the output below tells me that
you have a public routable IP address and that the "router" is in
bridge mode or that this is a hub and NOT a router. please post the
exact model # and hardware version of this router. also, you should
update the router firmware to the latest available

2. once you have the router configured as a router, unbind IPv6 from
the NIC

i am using the wal-mart brand the name is seriously....Network everywhere
it is a 10/100 fast eathernet 5 port network hub. model number NH1005
version 2.0

but this is the trick i just moved here and got the cable modem.... before
that for about 3 months i had the same equipment with a dsl hook up and both
computers could go to the internet just fine. no troubles at all... but now
with the cable modem it wants to act funny. is it because i touched it?? hehe

that thing is NOT a router. it is a hub made by Linksys. so you will
only be able to connect a single computer. If you want to connect a
different computer, you probably need to power cycle the broadband
modem. your old DSL provider probably gave you multiple IPs.

buy yourself a GOOD router. that is the only solution worth looking
into. it will also give you some protection.
