I have a Linksys Network Hub and my Dell

Any suggestions or ideas?

Hi,

Are both machines XP

Have you run the network connection wizard on each machine.

Is your connection to the netowrk hub wired or wireless. This is assuming you mean a hub and not a router.

What networrk protocols do you have installed on each machine

Are both machines in the same network group.

Do they both have unique names on the network.

Assuming you're using TCP/IP, do you have the laptop configuration set to DHCP?

You need to state a bit more about what you are trying to do. Do you want to connect to the internet or to another computer?
