I have a small network at home consisting of 4 computer and an
occasional laptop running through a hub. I have been using Netbui (and
IPX/SPX for the games that use it) . I have set up file and printer
sharing on all computers and everything has been working great.
Now I have installed an ADSL line and modem. I hooked the ADSL modem
up to the hub. I installed TCP/IP on the computers with the following
settings.



10.0.20.1 Gateway
10.0.20.2 (main system)
10.0.20.3 (2nd system)
10.0.20.4 (3rd system)
10.0.20.5 (4th system)

 I have read posts in the adsl groups that I should use only the
tcp/ip protocol as the other protocols are adding overhead and traffic
across the adsl modem connection and consuming bandwidth. Sounds
logical to me.

Problem. If I use only tcp/ip I cannot browse the network. I can't use
either of the shared resource printers. All computers can ping each
other and the internet access works fine. What am I missing? 

As an additional note, the J.Helmig website is an absolute God-send. I
have learned a great deal from this site and many public thanks to the
author. His step-by-step tutorials are extremely well done.  A great
example of what is good about the internet.
