I have a Linksys network set up in my home I can see both computers in my Network neighborhood and can transfer files/folders with no problem but I cant get get on the internet on the second (Ibm)computer. My main computer that has a working internet access is a WinME 1000Mhz and the secondary computer is IBM Win98 (not 98SE)400Mhz. On the WinMe I have ZoneAlarm Pro and have put the IP Range to allow for home network internet access. It appears to be connected correctly since I can transfer files back and forth between the 2 computers but I cant get internet access on the IBM. The Router is a WRT54G and its connect with a Cat5 cable to the IBM (I'm not using the wireless option since it wouldnt keep a connection very long- so I'm trying the cat5 direct connect option). Is their a setting somewhere I need to change to allow internet access to the IBM computer? There is no firewall on the IBM computer. I've tried many settings already and have no other ideas on what I can tweak. Ive also installed the latest Linksys Firmware update.Please help. Thanks, Mark

I'm having a similar problem. I have 2 computers. The first one is connected and is working fine. The 2nd one keeps telling me that there is a problem connecting. Any suggestions? They are hooked up through a telephone line using a splitter.
