Situation: 6 computers running WinXP Pro SP2 with a
LinkSys BEFSR41 router and a hub for the extra computers.
With only ONE of these computers, when I connected it
through the router, it saw the network just fine but when
it was on the hub, it didn't see the network. But when I
took off its SP2 firewall, it worked through the hub fine.
Questions:
* Any idea why this happened?
* When I hook the network to the Internet through a
cable modem, am I risking problems by having the firewall
down on that one computer?
Thanks for your help,
Jerry
