hiya
i just reconfigured my home network, originaly i had my adsl modem connected to and nic in my puter , then another nic in my puter to a switch, the to the rest of my comps
now i have changed it so that all the comps including mine connect to the switch and the link in the switch connects to the modem
everything seems to work, each computer has to sign in to adsl connection and they work individualy
prob is now i cant see the other comps on my local network, even though they are the same workgroup name
all nic are oin the same sub mask 255.255.0.0
slightly different ip addresses
mine 169.254.25.41
one of the others 169.254.76.229
in the network wizard i used this computer conects through a network hub and other connect through hub as well
the other way i could see all my comps , just need to figure out how to see them when im connected this way
any help plz
