i tried installing netbeui on both pc's and it didn't help. i tried to disable file sharing in tcp/ip and then i couldn't access the network at all. both protocols need to have file sharing to be able to see the pc's in network neighborhood. i can't even see anything inside the pc i'm using when i try to search it through network neighborhood. happily the cable modem works on both pc's although i found it odd that roadrunner required a username and password on the account but the router works without the pppoe [username and password] enabled and internet access is fine.
