My cable modem worked fine until I made the mistake of activating NetBeui on the peer to peer. I took NetBeui out but still we can't access the internet either by cable modem or phone modem. Any ideas?

I can't see how adding netbeui would cause your internet connection to drop,especially via a modem, does'nt make sense.
Do you get an IP,if so can you ping it,can you ping your gateway????
I take it you have reset the cable modem? If so maybe try removing TCP/IP and add it again and see what happens.

Not much detail to work with here, but a couple of suggestions... First, remove and re-install TCP/IP on all machines. Next, configure the addresses to use the machine with the physical connection to the modem as the default gateway. In the Connection tab for each machine, select the Connect via LAN option, and use the connected machine as the Proxy Server.
