network setup

by isamukusanagi . Updated 22 years ago

ya, i don’t even know if this thread is in the right section, but if it’s not, i’m sure someone will move it and i will know better next time.

i’m having a problem setting up my home network.
before, i had the network setup like this

internet, then router which goes to 1 computer and a hub that goes to another 5 computers

what i’m trying to do, but not having much luck is

internet, then firewalled computer/game server to a hub, then to all other computers in the house

the computer i’m using as the firewall is an AMD Duron 700mhz running WinXPPro and zonealarm

there are 2 network cards in the comp, both are identical 10/100 cards. not sure what to do anymore. it does get the internet though. i wouldn’t be posting if it didn’t. but none of the other computers can see this one, nor can they access the internet either

any suggestions or corrections would be appreciated
thanks
