run out of ports - 5/26/2005 16:58:54
I have a small office network with four workstations networked through a 4 port hub which also routes into the internet. The machines are XP or Win2k. I needed to add a fifth machine to have access to the internet, so I thought I would put an extra LAN card into the fourth machine with a crossover cable. They both have XP. The fourth machine now has two LAN cards.
Problem is, how do I get the fifth computer to get internet access. I tried giving internet sharing to the fourth machine but it says there is a network address conflict an it wont work. I have tried searching for tutorial on the web, but I cant find one for this setup.
Can anyone help?

. I locate the "work" machines on the farthest hop (the end of the chain) as they are less intensive on the data stream.
