I am new to this and started my first network today. I have a Linksys 5 port
EtherFast HUB (not router), a desktop PC and a notebook. My modem is a
Motorola CyberSurfer on the @home system. The Desktop is running Win98, and
the laptop is running Win98SE. ICS is NOT installed.
Instead, I went the two IP route, and I purchased a second IP from @home.
When I do a winipcfg, each computer shows up with its unique host name, and
different IP addresses, so the 2 computers are being seen by @home as
distinct entities.
I have plugged the modem into the uplink port of the hub, and each of the 2
computers into other ports (neither in port 1 which is shared with the
uplink).
If I fire up the desktop, everything works fine. Internet is OK. VPN to my
workplace is OK.
However, the laptop cannot access the internet.
If I reverse the process, i.e. fire up the laptop, it accesses the internet
just fine, including my wife's VPN (a different one) to her workplace (a
different one).
Then the desktop PC is unable to access the internet.
So, each machine works perfectly on its own, but locks out the other one
from sharing the modem connection.
How do I get these two machines to share the modem, which of course was the
whole point of the exercise?
All help appreciated.
