I have an interesting networking problem. I had a Windows 98 machine that had a cable modem. The modem was connected directly to the USB port and was working fine. I recently got another computer and wanted to network them together. I got a router and ran the cables to the new PC. I had to put a NIC in the inital PC to connect it to the router. The problem is that now I can't get to the internet. Every time I try to do something that connects to the internet, I get an Illegal Exception error. I tried taking out the NIC and putting the USB back in, but the computer won't connect to the network any more. The second computer connect fine without a problem, so I believe it's isolated to the initial computer. Any ideas?
