Networking with a router

[ame1usn]

Irongeek,

Here is one box. Now the connection isn't set up right now, I am re-routing the cable. Does it make a difference? Antway I will be able to get the other box's results soon. Thanks for the look and I appreciate whatever you can offer.

Check out the line that says " Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected", are you sure all the cables ar going to the non-WAN ports? Also, is this the box with the modem that connect to your ISP?

Here is how I am set up:

Phone line to back of XP box and into modem
Cable from XP box ethernet card to Cayman router
Cable from 98SE box ethernet card to Cayman router
Cable from second 98SE box to router(possible non-functional ethernet card)

I know that this all sounds pretty simple but that is how I see it. I am able to share internet between the XP box and the first 98SE box but that is all. I can't actually see each machine on a network. I have checked the share level out on all boxes and they are all set to share on a network.

I hope that this clears thing up a little.

Still need the IP config info for all of your boxes, not just the XP box
