i realize this is old topic but.....
a hub works fine as suggested but isn't needed. connect both pc's to the router, the dsl line to the wan output on the router. make sure dns client service and dhcp client service are on in the services panel. -------------------- I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.
