need help from an expert(networking + XP)
Hi, i just bought myself a laptop with a 10/100 etherrnet thinger majigger.. and i need to either get it online (prefered) or on a home network so i can get stuff from the pc in my room (or both)
so heres the dillio
my isp (adsl) gives me only 2 ips (and i cant just unhook one computer and swap cables because of the MAC adress..
we have my parents computer with win 98 and my pc with xp.. my laptop is also running xp.. so both will be the ntfs file system... (my parents pc doesnt need to be able to get stuff from this network..
currently we have a 4 port HUB not a router.. so we got the two working pcs online... but i need to add my laptop to this equation... how can i do this with the existing hardware? (i dont have money to buy a router)
also file and print sharing is on both my laptop and pc.. both the same network name.. but i cant seem to find each other...
thanks in advance
