When you start getting into Internet Connection Sharing, and configuring that thru a firewall, you get into some real headaches. I think Autopilot is probably right, if I understand him correcty, by going thru a "hub", it may simplify things.
Don't use a hub. Its pretty much legacy now; all it is is a multiport repeater.
just buy a switch. They're very cheap nowadays and they are are used in any modern network. Switches split collision domains (and if each host connects directly to a switch, gets rid of collisions) and therefore make your network less error-prone and more efficient.
A good home network setup is as follows:
1. DSL modem connects to ISP's border router.
2. Router with built-in switch and wireless access point connects to dsl modem via cat5e straight-though cable.
3. Computers (or printers, xbox's etc) connect to the router either via cat5e ST cables or wirelessly with a wireless PC card.

Thnx Congo,
My Network Places are no where to be found, tried all you said.
Autopilot,
These things are still pricy here in UK, even at PC Fairs.
(£100 plus, $150 ?).
I'll keep trying with the two cards and CAT5 cable (£10), hoping somehow to get it going.
If not, will have to keep changing the modem cable from one to the other PC. luke
