Networking trouble

[AChimp]

With XP, all you should have to do is plug your DSL modem into the wall, plug the router into the DSL modem and then plug all your computers into the router. Make sure that the DSL is hooked up to the WAN port on your router. Run the Internet Connection Wizard and pick the option that best describes your situation (it's on the second page I believe). After that, everything should work correctly after rebooting.

I don't really remember how to set up Windows 98 machines anymore. You have to ensure that the appropriate protocols are installed and bound to your network card (of course, if it WAS working with the hub, it's probably already done). You need to make sure they're using DHCP to obtain their IP addresses, because that's what the router will be using to assign them to computers on your network.

It's possible that the computers that aren't working are holding onto old IP's that they recieved directly from the Verizon network when you were using the hub. In this case, the router won't know what the hell to do with it, and therefore won't do anything.
