Ok, I dug out the Linksys router I got for free and hooked it up.
Got my machine working (online) quickly, hooked up it's first E'net port to the router.
Got second machine (wifes) online, no problem.
Trouble: SetiQ is set on 192.168.0.1 & my first internet connection is on dhcp - my machine finished a WU & it went through setiQ just fine, but I can't ping 192.168.0.1 from the wifes machine.
Mine is set at 192.168.1.100 & the wifes is 192.168.1.103 and they are both online.
My other E'net port is the one setiQ is attached to and it's address is fixed at 192.168.0.1
So - should I set my setiQ E'net port to DHCP & then all will be OK?
CHANGED TOPIC FROM:
I use Win XP ICS here on my home LAN & share out my cable modem to the wife & kids machines, all seti crunchers.
Last night my machine froze, I tried a restart & it got to the blue "Welcome" screen & just sat there.
After a few reboots I tried lowering my speed & latency & etc and still had the problem.
Then for one reason or another I let it sit at the "Welcome" screen a long time and oticed that the mouse pointer would move once every 30 seconds - 2 minutes. I waited a long time and eventually the desktop loaded. Very slowly.
OK - by very slowly I mean to say this entire process from start until I figured out what was causing it lasted from about 9:45pm - 2:20am.
Eventually by rebooting into safe mode and doing msconfig & starting without services & start up items and then enabling them one at a time until the SLOW reboot happened again I found it was the Internet Connection Sharing / Internet Firewall service causing the problem.
No matter what I do, when I try enabling it again the machine slows to a crawl of epic proportions.
SO - anybody hear of this happening and if so, a way to fix?
Thanks!
