Folks,

I have a desktop w/ XP Home and a laptop w/ XP Pro.

I have a wireless newtowrk set up where both PC's communicate with a DSLAM
and both can successfully get out to the Internet via the DSLAM using, of
course, TCP/IP.

I also have a 10/100 network switch and I wanted to use this to construct a
private 2 node wired Ethernet LAN between the 2 machines using the wired
Ethernet adapters on ecah machine via the network switch. I am getting the
sinking feeling that I cannot run two separate TCP/IP networks on these two
machines.

Any suggestions?

Best Regards... Norm

Why not? I have two, sometimes even three (with a dial-up modem connection)
TCP/IP networks on my computer. I expect that you are missing an Ethernet
adapter in each of the computers you want on that private wired LAN. Each
computer needs two such adapters, one for the DSLAM connection, and the
other for the switch.

Norman,

No, that is not the problem. I have wired 10/100 Ethernet cards on both
computers as well as wireless adapters adapters on both computers. The
wireless netwrok is working fine. It is the wired network I cannot seem to
get going.
