Hi George,
Yes it does. My understanding is that you can only have two interfaces
on the same network in one machine if one is an alias for the other
(same NIC). I'm probably wrong.
You should probably try making each 'network' a seperate one:
192.168.1.0 192.168.2.0
CableModem - LinkSys ---------- Computer1 ----------- computer2
1.1 1.2 2.1 2.2
If XP works with the whole thing on one network, it is either very
forgiving, or it's crap.
I don't think you would need more holes in the wall for a hub, you just
need one hole, and a hub for each room.
