hahaha. am I always argueing!?? :) 

well, I think it has something to do with the Central hubs. They may only 
allow like One node on One port. So when I have two computers
connected on the same port, the central hub goes wacko and a lot of the time
both ip's won't work, especially when Both computers are trying to access
stuff off the network. If one is OFF (obviously) it works fine.
I have a 4 port hub with a crossedover twisted pair cable going from
the wall to the hub (I have to use a special cable b/c the hub doesn't have
that crossover feature) then I have a desktop and a laptop and my laptop
connected to the hub.  I keep my craptop off most of the time 
( I wish I can have both on ) I may try IP
masquerading some time when I scrounge up some time.
