Got my network up, running and sharing! I had to turn the ZA Local security setting down from high to medium on both PCs. Also on both PCs in the Advanced tab in ZA's security settings I had to add the IP address of the other PC. The Adopter Subnets box can remain unchecked. The only quirk I have left to work out is the Dell 933 takes 30-60 seconds to list the files on the 233. The 233 lists the files on the 933 right away. The 233 is connecting to the router with a cat. 5 cable. The 933 is connected with a lighter cable that came with my cable modem. I doubt this is the bottleneck but I'll try a better cord on the 933 tomorrow and see if that makes any difference. If not I'll look over the Linksys site, if I don't find an answer there I'll give them a call. OK Mark, so when are you gonna set up your network?? I hope you find my posts as helpful as I've found yours in the past. Oh, even after spending too much time playing with my network yesterday I still got a 99 on my test in A+ class today! After the test I completely took apart, down to a bare motherboard, and reassembled an AMD 500 PC. I didn't get a chance to boot after reassembling so I'll have to wait to Thursday to see if the reassembly was successful. After I finish a 2nd A+ class 7 weeks from now I'll be taking a Windows 2000 Server class. At that point I'll disable the DHCP protocol in the router and try to use my 933 as server, I'm not sure it's possible to share a cable internet connection on a client/server network, I'll have to look into it. I might need to share the internet connection through the router then get another NIC to conect the 2PCs directly. I'll do more DD on this other configuration as I get closer to my W2K server class. Good Night, SfkaJB (from the old 233 upstairs that Cheeky thought I should trash)
