I'm trying to share cable modem service with 2 computers. The Linksys (1) is connected to my cable modem service. The 3 Com card (2) goes to one satellite computer. Whatever I have done, changing cables, different cards, swapping MB slots,,,,, still gets the network cable unpluged result in the 2nd card. If I swap the cables, then 2 works fine and I get the unplugged message on 1. It's as if XP will only allow one card at a time to function? When I run the network setup wizard, it tells me that the 2 card is disconnected.
