Also, have each machine try pinging itself, in other words: ping 127.0.0.1 ping localhost If those don't work, there is something wrong with the networking software on each machine. (I can't help you with the next step, but someone can -- post your results.) Randy Kramer Dan Swartzendruber

Well, until someone else chips in: Try having each machine ping itself using its assigned IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever). All of your cables plugged in properly? Do you have a crossover RJ-45 cable by any chance that you could use to connect the two machines, replacing the hub
