Hi,

Hope you can help.

In our household we have 3 computers, 2 desktop (Computers A and B) and 1 laptop (Computer C), all of which are running windows XP. we are trying to connect all 3 to a network plus have internet acces through a cable (ADSL broadband) modem. at first computer A had access to the net and computer B could access the net through this and could see computer A's files, etc. now we have added computer c and none of the computers can see each other and only computer A has internet access again.

All computers and internet connection are plugged into a 5 port network hub.

I have run network setup wizard on all 3 compters, but no joy.

None of them can ping any of the others and im completely baffled!! At one point computer A could see computer B for accessing files however could not see each other when trying to play network games.!??!

Please help!!

Many thanks

Rob

usually for network games they have to be made off the computer with the primary connection to the hub or router
