kathy, i think i'll need all the help i can get. i'll make a "suggested" folder and a "tried" folder. any suggestions that anyone puts in , i'll move it into "suggested" and when i try out one i'll move it to "tried" that way i will not get confused as to what i may have tried. i will be able to keep down my confusion and not duplicate effort and still get help from anyone who makes an observation or suggestion. you ask what i needed. i have two computers that was sharing one dsl line. the modem and the usb connection got a short and the tech sent out by the isp installed a moden on a ethernet card. now the modem share will not work. the techie sugested that i put in a routher instead of the hub method of networking. the router will not work either. so there is the problem. thanks for your help. --- ken barber <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > deri already voluntered. if i do need more than he > can > provide, i'll email you. thanks though, i do > appreciate the help. it is that with my memory, i'll > forget who told me what and who i have told what and > i > could get very confused. > > > --- Kathy Pink <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > What do you need, Ken? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ken barber <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > is there a computer geek in the house??!! > > > > --- Kathy Pink wrote: > > > Welcome Back, Ken (partly)! ha ha ha! > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ken barber wrote: > > > well...,, i cooked my non-traditional Christmas > > > dinner > > > by grilling 2 of the biggest porterhouse steaks. > > > this > > > cow hopefully was not mad, just a little > > > disappointed > > > at being my dinner. > > > > > > i am back on line at least partly. the main > > computer > > > is up by itself. but, the other one can't get to > > the > > > net. the tech said the usb port was where the > sort > > > was. he put my modem onto ethernet card. the > only > > > problem with that is that, now, the netgear hub > i > > > had > > > does not like the modem and vice versa. if i > plug > > > into > > > the hub, the two machines recognize each other, > > but, > > > can't recognize the modem. the tech said i'd > need > > to > > > replace the hub with a router. i did that and > got > > > the > > > same results. if everything is pluged into the > > > router, > > > the neither reconizes the the modem. but the one > > > machine by it self will go to the modem and get > > out > > > to > > > the internet. > > > > > > --- Deri James wrote: > > > > Hope everyone's having a great Christmas.
