I'm having a strange network problem.  I have an @home cable modem with two
computers.  I pay an extra $7 / month to get two ip addresses, one for each
system  Using winipcfg I confirm that the ethernet adapters each have a
different ip address.  The systems are both plugged into a Lynksys 5 port
workgroup hub.  When I turn on either computer my connection to the
Internet works just fine.  But as soon as I turn on the other system, the
newly booted system seems to knock the other system off-line.  (No e-mail
or Internet access).

The internal network is working fine.  Both computers see each other and
can share files.

Any ideas of what might be going on here.

Using TCP/IP and Netbui protocols.

Thanks,

Bill Nussbaumer
