When I had Win98 used to have 3 computers in my house all networked together via HUB. The reason for the hub was to support additional users on my Cable Modem. I would have 3 computers running to my HUB, and my cable modem runing to the HUB also with a twisted RJ-45, and this would enable 3 of my computers to access the internet on different IP's of their own. I then got a 4th computer and decided only to split the connection off one of my more powerful, main computer (the one that im on right now). Therefore sharing its IP and bandwidth. I then upgraded THIS computer to Win2k, and next thing you know, I am able to share the internet connection perfectly with the other computer, but there is a problem. The other 2 computers attached to my HUB are now not able to access the network but still have their own internet access, and my new 4th one is also in win98, and is also unable to access my main computers shared resources since its running win2k. I am not behind any firewall or proxy since I am using a program named Sygate to share my internet connection. Sygate does not need firewalls or proxies and I dont know how to fix my problem. I just know it might have something to do with the protection level Win2k has in comparison to Win98. The really weird thing is, my main computer is still able to ONLY access my 4th computer's (the one which is sharing the MAIN computer's IP) resources such as data on the HD and such.
