Ben, I have an ADSL modem on the Host running Windows 98SE. this
computer is connected to a HUB via the uplink port. The two clients
running Windows XP are plugged in to the HUB. Both clients can access
the internet and share files with the Host. An interesting observation
is when I turn on the computer which I use as the main client, a light
is shown on the hub indicating a connection. But when the second client
is started, no light is shown against it's port. This computer still has
internet access. I really don't understand this. Could you shed some
light on this?

Alan, I wish you would explain a little how you have your network set
up.
You have a peer to peer network so there really isn't a primary and
clients.
I've never heard of linking a computer to a hub on an uplink port.  Are
you
calling the Win98 machine the primary because it is your internet access
point?  Where is your internet connection?  Are all three computers in
the
same workgroup?  Have you assigned IP address to all or have some sort
of
DHCP running?  Have you shared drives or folders on all the machines?
