OK guys and gals...sue me for being blind and stupid. I'm using tiny personal firewall. My main computer (XP) has an internal dsl modem and a separate ethernet card that runs into a 4 port hub. I just got my other computer (98) back up, and can not hook up to the intenet unless I disable tiny on the main computer. I've scanned through help, tryed to find the proper settings to tweak, all to no avail. Anyone out there have a clue as to what I'm overlooking? Many thanks for your help.
