I need help with this. I just started a job doing general office work and my boss thinks I am some sort of computer genius. He wants to get a network set up between 3 computers. The "hub" computer runs win 98SE and the other two run win xp. The connections are routed through an ethernet card and what looks like cat 5 cable. Any ideas on why I can get one to register but not the others? I can do a ping from the problem XP computer to the other XP but not from any other to the problem computer. I know I am not giving much information, but I have little idea as to what I am doing.

Hi steverage,

It sounds like you need a router.

WindowsXP computer 1 (how may ether cards?)
WindowsXP computer 2 (how may ether cards?)
Windows98 computer (how may ether cards?)

What type of Internet connection is there?
All WindowsXX are updated?
