The second thing is to make sure NetBui and Netbios is enabled on both then make your PC a gateway system (give it an IP in the gateway settings) then change your brothers so that it is directed towards that IP."

I hope he did not make it more confusing! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Netbios and NetBui is enabled and I've set my IP as 192.168.0.1 with 255.255.255.0 as the subnet and his is directed to it.

One thing about the Y-switch though....it serves the same purpose as a hub right? I'm running an 8 port hub (have hopes to add more comps *LOL*) but it's the same with or without at the moment as this is only between 2 pc's.

I really appreceate you taking the time to try and help btw. Especially since something like this is (or seems to myself) virtually impossible to instruct in this way.
