HEEEEEYYYYY!
It works now that I've installed the two protocols that were missing....."IPX/SPX, AND NETBEUI". Yep these two were the ones I needed for the router to establish the IP address. Now when I ipconfig, I only see the router's information only. The internal network and the adapter's information is all zeroed out. This must mean that I can't be seen on the Internet by hackers at all!! Now that's great, Something so simple which can cause a major headache. Now I have my computer networked with my son's with the use of the router. Everything is all good now. The connection is strong on both systems also. Thankz for your help everyone! I think I got this Networking stuff down a little now fo sho'.
Any questions:
