Hi All, hope someone can help.
I have just upgraded to a new computer with XP. Previously, I had a win98SE connected to the internet via cable modem. Other computers shared the internet through this computer via LAN/ router. For reasons of complex house geography the modem cannot plug into the router.
Now I have upgrader, my problem is that the new computer looks for the internet on the wrong network device. ie, instead of connecting through the modem it looks for the internet via the LAN card connected to the router ( I think). If I diconnect the LAN card, then the computer finds the internet connection via modem fine.
I had it all working fine, but I have done something (stupid) which I can't undo.
Any ideas?
Thanks
