Just an idea, would it be possible to share the usb modem out to the 2 computers using a usb hub?

Unfortunatly I have no choice, as the modem only has the USB connection at the back, and even the internal PCI router didnt work!!! I have the network set up and working just fine, and the local area connection icon for the USB modem is set for sharing, but the second computer still cannot find the ...

Anybody out there know how to get two computers running XP and connected via a crossover cable to share the internet connection via a usb dsl broadband modem? I know it can be done, but not the settings.......

Yippieeeeee, Done it, damn firewall was preventing access to the main computer.
Thanks for all your help guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The workgroup is set to the same, guest login is deactivated on both, and login and username is the same on bothas well. Still coming up 'you may not have permission to use this network rersource, contact the server administrator to see if you have access permission'

Yep

On main comp, ASUS P4V8X-X MOB with built in LAN, on second pc, Netgear FA310TX Network card, and connected with a CAT 5E patch crossover cable

The second computer just keeps saying it dosent have access to the workgroup and and please contact the server administrator to see if you have permission to use this network. (the server administrator would be me)!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just connected two computers together via an internal PCI router. Problem is the computer with the pci card in can acces the other pc but not the other way around!!!!!!!!!! Tried to connect via a crossover cable instead and take out the pci card, but same problem. Can any one out there help???

Can you conect the 2 pcs together directly, or do you have to have a router or hub?

Cheers buddy, the kids will be pleased not to loose their games. lol

Can you connect 2 pc's with different operating systems? eg win XP and win 98SE, to share the printer and broadband connection?

Thanks guys, guess I'll just have to wait untill the mobo turns up and have a look see!!!!

So, which case do slot 1 motherboards fit into? AT or ATX?

Can you fit a standard AT motherboard into a Baby AT case?
