You can get around this by opening up the security on your XP box... which is fine if you're not connecting to the internet.
Bah it's not that hard. We currently have 5 different pc's in my house, running 4 versions of windows and 1 on linux; all of which can access the internet. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Barb, I wouldn't bother with a hub if is only 2 pc's that you are hooking up. Just remember terminators if you are using BNC cable.
