LAN Connection inquiry

[Rock]

Hi,

If two XP boxes are connected to 1 wired LAN plug on a Hub, will they
both have the same LAN IP or will they be different.

I have one wired LAN connection and 2 boxes and want to know if I can
connect both.

Thanks

Two computers can't have the same IP address.

I suggest asking the administrators of the LAN how to connect both of
your computers. Only they know how the LAN is set up and how to use
it.
