Hi All

I am recently trying to add 2 more computers to my network. What i have is a a belkin wireless G router conected to my 2 computers at my desk. What i want to add is my netgear hub down the hall to hook up my roomates 2 computers. Problem is it says that there is no connection after i have everything hooked up.
I have looked at my router setup page and i found that the firewall is blocking a DoS from the same IP that my roomates computers have, so i don't know what i am doing wrong, if its a hardware or software issue.


any help would be great and if you need more info let me know.


Thank all.

Disable any and all software firewalls on all computers.

To connect a hub/switch to a router, you need to use the uplink port on ONE of the devices. If they don't have uplink ports, they MAY be autosensing. Otherwise, you have to use a crossover cable, not a standard patch cable.
