Can't download from web site's
I'm running XP and just hocked up a Linksys wire less cable modem and can't download anything from the web. When I try to download it looks like it's trying to, but all I get is a hour glass for a long time. I have the Hub hocked up to a Lap Top and have no problum downloading on that. On my Desk Top I have the router hocked up and can't download. Can you help me with this matter, thanks.

Can you download when you bypass the hub? Have you tried a different port on the hub (what are the LED indicators doing)? What troubleshooting have you tried?
You can try this and see if it helps: Right click on the Local Area Connection or Wireless Network Connection on your network adapter and then click on the "Remove from Bridge" option. Restart and see if it works. |

Have you had any luck? Do you mean Control Panel > Network connections?
