Modem/Hub problems
Okay, trying to set up a home network with 2 computers. Using a Modem and a Hub (details on them listed below). The problem is, only 1 computer can connect at a time.
Modem: Speedstream External Ethernet ADSL Modem - 5100 Series (Pretty sure it's a modem/router, so I got a hub instead of a router) Hub: Linksys (Network Everywhere) 10/100 5-Port Hub (Model #: NH1005-MW) Can this be resolved without calling my ISP? |

Re: Modem/Hub problems
I suspect this is not the model that has a router embedded. To see, for the working computer, do this:
Start, Run, CMD to open a command prompt: Type the following command: IPCONFIG /ALL Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter. Paste the results in a message here. If you are on a machine with no network connection, use a floppy, USB disk, or a CD-RW disk to transfer a text file with the information to allow pasting it here.

Re: Modem/Hub problems
This IPCONFIG appears to have a USB interface and nothing connected to the Ethernet connection. Is this the working unit?

Re: Modem/Hub problems
yup. Both of them work and connect just fine, but only one will connect at a time. I did that on the first computer while it was connect. It's closed to the modem. I can post a IPconfig from the other computer if necessary. I don't see how it'd be USB. Neither the Hub or Router have USB output.

Re: Modem/Hub problems
I don't think this device is a router, since you have a public IP address. If it's supposed to be a router, my guess is it's configured in Bridge mode and not doing the routing function.
When you get the other machine connected, I'll bet it's IP address is also 64.x.x.x, not a private IP address as you would get with a router.

Re: Modem/Hub problems
The 169.254.x.x address is Windows autoconfiguration address for when it can't obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, or no DHCP server is found.
Buy a broadband router, your problems will be solved.
