My question is why can't you just connect both computers to the router? What type of router is it? Is it only wireless or something and maybe you only have one wireless adapter to connect to it? It sounds like you have this.... Internet --> router --> computer1 ---> hub ---> computer2 Is that correct? If so, can both either connect to the router itself , or why not just use the below method if you can't connect both to the router... Internet ---> computer1 ---> hub ----> computer2 What would be helpful, if you could describe if your connecting from home, office, etc. Also, what type of connection is it, dialup, cable/dsl, adsl, T-X, etc? And what exactly do you want both computers to do, both share files between them as well as internet, just internet, or are you sharing with lots of others via some type protocol? Just some type of brief explanation of where you are at, what type connection you have, what you want them to do , and maybe what equipment you have to work with might give someone some ideas. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Everything is always harder, before it's easier!
