It is connected into the slot that says "uplink". Computer 2 is connected to this hub using the same type of cable and it is connected to the slot that says "1". This hub is self powered. Nothing about the cables or the way that they are hooked up has changed since the last time that I had my home network set up. The only change, is that computer one is now different. Same hard drive, but totally different mother board, graphics card, power sup, etc... The only thing that I wish to accomplish as far as internet is I would like computer 2 to dial up through computer 1 just like it used to so that my husband and I can get online at the same time.
Thanks for helping to figure this out.
Hi heatherfish24,

Could you please go to Start > Run and enter cmd then when the window with the black background is open please type in ipconfig /all and post the results here. Please do this for both pc's and identify which one is directly connected to the internet.

Also could you please enter the product code/number for the hub you are using.

Thanks.
