Please remember that the PC with WinXP SP2 has Windows Firewall . I suggest
updating the WinXP SP-1 to SP2 and make it fully updated. Please make sure
not to use any other third party Firewall AND Windows Firewall at the same
time. Remember Norton Antivirus 2006 and 2007 can sometimes mess up things.
Are both PCs WinXP Pro or Home? Important to post all these details to get
the best advice from a Newsgroup :-)
Since you have a Belkin 54G wireless router (but not used in wireless mode
probably because of lack of wireless adapters in the PCs , I guess] where
both PCs are now connected through Cat5 Ethernet cables [the cables must be
"Straight -through" and NOT Crossover Cat5s] you must be able to have both
a Homenetwork and ability to access internet independently of each other via
the broadband modem and Boradband ISP.
In the Networksetup Wizard use the 2nd option (.) This Computer connects to
the internet through a "residential gateway" (a 'sophisticated' name for a
"router"!) or another computer on my network .
Then complete the wizard choosing Files and Printer sharing option . Good
luck

I have an internet connection through a belkin 54G Router where both
computers are connected through the cat5 cables to the router. I want to
use
the router to connect the computers for printer and file sharing. I used
the
network wizard and checked "other" for connection. The connection I chose
that seemed close to it was the hub connection. The computers still can't
see
one another.
What else needs to be done. Both machines are running WinXp but one has
only
SP1 installed.
What should I do to resolve this problem?

You will need to have NIC (Network Interface) or LAN (Local Area
Network ) card and Ethernet Cables to create communication between
between
the two Computers in your Homenetwork unless it is just for an
occasional
file transfer from one PC to the other PC.
You don't have to have Internet Connection for a Homenetwork to
function
unless you want the WAN (Wide Area Network ie Internet ) avaialble to
either or both PCs in the network.
