ok i have two pcs.

PC1 has winxp media centre 2005 on it. This pc has an NTL modem connected to the ntl network via a cat5 cable. It accesses the internet fine.

I have a NIC from PC1 connected to a hub.

PC2 is running winxp pro (SP2 upgraded). This PC is connected to the hub via a NIC. PC 1 & PC2 can see each other. The shared folders can be accessed by both pc's on the other pc. Yet....... PC2 cannot access the internet!

TBH, its now getting behond a joke. Many hours of messing around, so I've come here to ask for help.

All norton firewall and antivirus software has been removed in an attempt to get this working.

Please help.

Thanks.

P.S. On a sidenote, can the hub be placed between a pc and the cable modem supplied by NTL?
