Hey guys I have a new machine
with XP and DSL ...
I built a 98 system for my daughter.
I had an OLD hub LINKSYS 5 port (10MBS ONLY) -- with no docs.
So I network the two (I do Home Network setup and follow up with the XP disk in my 98 system to set that up as well) and I get this message on my XP system....
"there is an IP address conflict with another system on the network"
and some ERROR 59?? or some number like that on the 98 machine.
They are both set to DHCP and I read where maybe I should set them to Static...but I dont know what numbers to use to even try this! (( Linksys has no docs on this hub))
Can anyone help me????? One thing I see different between the two machines is that the XP system is set to Detect DNS and the 98 system is set to DISABLE DNS....?
I tried typing in the 198.162...number or whatever (Linksys said this is their normal standard number for their hubs) but it didnt get me into the HUB.... I was thinking that their might be something their I could change, BUT I dont think this HUB is that complicated anyway.
THANKS FOR ANY AND ALL HELP!

**MORE INFO! -- When EITHER of these systems is plugged into the HUBS by themselves they can see the internet -- when they are BOTH PLUGGED IN and the Error Message is on -- NEITHER sees the internet.
**When NO internet is hooked up, I can get the computers to play nice for a couple minutes but inevitably I get the same error message....
