Folks, Well, here's the story as neatly as I can summarize it. I don't think it has anything to with my software settings on the XP, still installed. Neither do I think the problem is with my hub/switch, a LinkSys that I bought around 5 years ago. What my wife and I discovered and I do not understand is that: when her laptop and my laptop are plugged into my hub simultaneously, her computer does not work. Neither does my ThinkPad work. If my cable is unplugged from the hub/switch, my wife's computer works normally. When her laptop is unplugged from the hub and mine is plugged in, it fails. Same story with my daughter's. As long as mine is plugged in, neither of the other laptops work. My wife thought it might be my hub, so she moved her cable and my cable elsewhere on the hub. This points to my laptop as being faulty. Which was what I thought days ago when I began dealing with this. Are any of you familiar with XP to know if it is something not configured network wise on the M$ side? I have my doubts, but then that's why I'm asking for expert opinions. thanks for any insights! gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org
