I Have a cable connection but my server does not support networking at this time. But i know it can be done. I bought a router with 5 ports and that didnt work so i bought a 4 port hub and still cant get it to work with the too. And i cant get games to play from another computer's cd rom (older computer and games wont play on newer computers) is there anywhere i can learn more about networking 3 computers have router and hub nic cards and cables. Had a crossover networking two of them before now adding the third and the cable modem


Any Help would be great Thank you

What do you mean your server doesnt support Networking? What's the purpose of the server if other machines cannot connect to it?

Because I dont know where you are in your setup..Make sure the cable modem is plugged into the router. The router then takes the connections from each of the three machines via Cat5w/RJ45 connectors from each of the three NIC's.

Client for Microsoft, and file and print sharing enabled on all three machines. Post back your progress
