Cable modem problem
I'm not to experienced with cable modems
so let me ask the group a ? I have a friend who has a Motorola cablemodem feeding a Compaq desktop directly through it's USB port which works fine(internet). The ethernet port on the cable modem feeds a Netgear 4 port hub/wireless access point. the wireless acces point feeds a dell laptop which has internet connectivity and works fine. Wired to the netgear hub is a Dell desktop w/XP home which suddenly cannot acces the internet. I swapped all the cables, swapped the cable on the ports of the hub.still no internet on the Dell desktop. This friend loaded some Spy Nuker software because somebody told her to (she was getting lots of pop ups). I removed it, but it did not solve the problem. Any suggestions? Gary |
