Hi Mark, Actually before now I had been checking the routing table 'route print' and also the netbios cache. On Computer A with IP address 192.168.0.1, there is a route to network 192.168.0.0 through interface 192.168.0.1 and on Computer B with IP address 192.168.0.2, there is a route to network 192.168.0.0 through interface 192.168.0.1 (seem great!).
I will try reinstalling the OS, because I look stupified, however currently am trying it on another computer to see what happens. What I did not mention is that, on both Computer A and B, I have two NICs each. My intention is to implement double NATing. Computer B is connected to the Internet through RJ45 broadband and this connection is working great!. My goal was to NAT this connection to Computer A and then NAT it again from computer A downstream (I have not reached here), I do not think the presense of two NICs in each computer would have any thing to do with thei.
