I have 3 machines running XP Pro SP2 connected to the net
thru a hub so all 3 will have a separate IP. I use a hub
so we can play online games together, which a router will
interfere with as most game zones will not allow more than
one client per IP address. This works great for that
respect, but, when connected to the internet the machines
cannot see each other. Unplugging the modem solves this
problem, the machines can now see each other but alas!
no internet connection. How can I setup my network so all
machines can see each other and still have separate access
to the net?
