networking question

[dkff49]

Have you tried disabling NAT on the router so it acts as an access point (Make sure you jot down any information given just after disabling NAT)?

I have not yet but I will this weekend when I get back to that station for work. Is that appropriate though when at the movement I only have that one router attached to the system?

The other thing that confuses me with that suggestion is I lose the internet if I disconnect the #1 or original computer and place the #2 computer directly to the modem without a router but when reconnecting the original computer directly back onto the modem, The internet works fine.

I'm just giving you some things to try in hopes something noticeable pops out. I'm not familiar with Ethernet Addressing so I'm not going to suggest you head off in that direction. From experience I know disabling NAT will force the router to act as an access point. Sometimes that will resolve connection issues similar to what you're encountering.

Thanks Denholm I will give it a try this weekend though, it sure can't hurt and it is something that I have not tried.
