Sorry i have been reading to many trouble shooting documents.

You are correct with your assumption DSL modem --> Linksys router --> machine 1 and machine 2 plugged into router. And this is how it was set up prior to the upgrade

When we got the DSL we had to install software from the disk provided on computer # 1 which had the 98 installed.

Yes the harddrive is just in additional hard drive, so my main hard drive would be C:/ and then i have the option to store files/programs to F:/ which is my addtional hard drive

Under the network Connections on #1 there is one listed and it shows connected/firewalled
On computer #2 it shows one connection and it shows disconnected.

For Computer # 1 the norton is just antivirus and #2 Macafee is a complete security suite

Is there something that we need to adjust on the windows XP firewall that could be causing the problem? Just thought of that while i was getting the other info?
