Hi t3zza36, welcome to SAF

Have you ran the Windows LAN Wizard ? You may take a look here if you are unsure on how to set your home network and sharing an Internet connection:

If you need some more informations, please post back your system specs, wired/wireless and Operating systems for both machines.

You might also check the Linksys site for help. They have an 'Easy Connect' section for XP.

I had a similiar problem not that long ago. Internet would only work on one computer at a time, I spent hours trying to figure it out but I couldn't. The best thing to do mate is phone up Linksys, its what I did and I got it sorted within 20 minutes.

The only thing I can re-call is that I couldn't release an IP address and I didn't have my router configured properly (even though it worked fine for 3 months).

I had to change the channel and change other stuff which I can't remember. I also had to changed from Linksys configuration to Windows Zero Configuration (I think its called that)

Some of these might help your problem, but I would recommend phoning up Linksys!
