I'm having trouble setting up my home network. I have two computers, both running me, connected through a hub. My cable modem is plugged into the uplink jack. Currently, both computers can access the internet through the modem. I have sharing enabled on both computers. They are both on the same workgroup. However, when I search for the other computer, nothing comes up. I don't have the IPX drivers installed, but I'm not sure if that should make a difference. I ran the home networking wizard but it didn't really do anything for me. I know they're physically connected b/c they can both access the internet; the question is just how to I setup the software properly... Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Enabling the NetBEUI protocol should solve the problem. Also, make sure you have file and printer sharing enabled. Hope this helps.
