Before trying to help with other problems, please confirm that the cable modem is not a USB only cable modem. If it is, and it cannot connect to your computer or router with an ethernet connection, you are going to have problems. You need a cable modem that can connect with ethernet.
First of YES do what he says, you dont want a usb modem,, doesnt make sence to me...
and Second you want to get rid of your route,( my opinion) and get a linksys router its easier to use, also alot better. its pretty much a plug and play. You dont really have to set anything up.
Cable guy hooked up both systems so that they can use the Internet through my router --- what a sweetie .
But there still is one problem that I can't seem to get worked out. When I try and access some information that is shared it says that it is not accessible. When I check on my host computer in the Network Connections, it has Local Area Connection and 1394 Connection - and in the properties, file and print sharing is checked in both. But on the client computer there is no Network Neighborhood (Win ME) .... seems like he deleted my network I had set up... because I don't have the opition to open my network, etc.
I really want file and print sharing being as my hubby sometimes hogs the computer and I am set to use my sons.
Can anyone help my get this working again?
Thank you so much!
