Tried the crossover cable; I think the cable modem supporting one MAC address sounds like a good guess. I hardwired an IP on the second PC, and could ping back and forth, but not out to the outside world. I'll try cycling the power on the cable modem, and then hooking up the Win2K machine. I've told him that Internet sharing may be his best option....

To connect from the cable modem to the switch you need a cross over cable or port. Those would be Guesses number 1 and 2. --Kevinm M, WLKMMAS, UCC+WCA, And Beyond He's a Dentist, a Detective, a MindReader, No He is in IT..... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Josefowski, Larry Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 6:43 AM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: WIN2K question First time I have asked for help here... A friend has a cable modem hookup. He has the connection going to a switch, with a connection to a Win98 computer, and a Win2K computer. The Win98 has no problem getting on, and is set for DHCP to pick up an IP address. I cannot get the Win2K to pick up an IP address. I have swapped cables, ports on the switch, tied directly into the cable modem, but cannot get DHCP to pick up an IP (other then the private one it automatically generates). However, the computers can see each other with NetBeui.
