I got the problem solved. I had two hubs chained together. I forgot the upstream hub was there. It worked fine until I added the extra computer on the downstream hub. I ran the downstream hub directly to the modem/router and looks like everything is working!!! Thanks for all replys.

Grumpy, tried the WinSockXP fix - did not change situation. Brian. Yes I can connect (share files) and ping other computers on local network when I manually assign IP address, subnet and gateway.

Brian, Telnet (connect failed) message to about 20 seconds (timeing out?). The router was set up by ATT. I can view/edit the setting.

eibgrad, I called it a modem. I guess the Netopia is a combined router+modem. The cable I ran to it just bypassed the hub and went directly to the Netopia. That connection failed the same as going through the hub. Brian, telnet 74.125.65.105 80 ...Could not open connection to host, on port 80...

Yes, 192.168.1.254 is the address to login into the Netopia router/modem. I cannot ping 72.14.204.104 Is the 'Node type = Unknown' important?

Ipconfig/all with it set to auto: Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : WJB107 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . ...

It is a Netopia model 3347-02 (provided by ATT). When I log onto its homepage its called a router. I am not using a separate router. No switch. All computers are connected identically. (using several hubs for plotters/printers) I have tried a connection that I know works on the new computer.

Added a (XP Pro Sp3) computer to small (4) computer network via cable. I can access the other computers shared folders, but not the modem (or internet). All other computers can access internet via Netopia DSL modem on the network. If I manually assign the IP address, I can exchange files...
