As a follow on to my earlier message, go to this page for more info on
your hub.  It should have an 'X' imprinted by one of the ports,
identifying the cross over port.

Hope this helps.  If not. Post again.

| I recently signed up for cable modem service.  Now, we have 2
computers, so
| I ordered an extra IP address for the other, and attempted to setup a
| network so the other computer could have access.  The other computer
uses
| only Win98 and my computer uses Win98, Linux, and Solaris.
|
| I bought the Intel InBusiness 5-Port 10 Mbps hub for our network.  I
was
| told to plug the cable modem into the uplink port on the hub.
However, the
| hub doesn't have an uplink port.  It has only 5 standard ethernet
ports.
| So, using a crossover cable, I plugged the cable modem into one of the
| ports, and the other 2 computers into the next 2 ports.  I am able to
access
| the internet through either computer.  The problem is, I can't use
both at
| the same time.  Is this common?  Whenever I try and access the
internet when
| the other computer is on, I get network errors.  How can I set it up
so that
| both computers can access the internet at the same time?
|
| Could it be a problem with how I have the hub set up?  Has anyone had
| experience with this hub?  I could REALLY use any help that you all
could
| give me in setting this up.  Thanks!
