Also keep in mind.. that alot of modems "now" are only allowing one device to get an IP address from it. In otherwords.. if you connect to the DSL or cable modem with "Number 1 PC" then unplug it and plug in "Number 2 PC" the second PC will not be able to get on the internet.

The way around that is to actually unplug your DSL or Cable modem router and let it reset completely. It keeps track of the IP address lease by MAC address (which can not be modified on each NIC card).

Some routers can copy MAC addresses.. but usually its easier to just unplug it and plug it back in.

with that IP scheme I dont think you are on an internal LAN..because I can ping it. Which means your first PC has the IP address and the rest of your computers cannot get one.

Hope LPDad's instructions do it.. you need to be on a private IP scheme.. such as the one he listed 192.168.1.0
