Hello there
I have just bought another pc which my sister is going to use in her room the problem is that i am running windows 7 ultimate on my pc and i took the RJ-45 put it in the hub and took another wire from there and put it in my pc...there is internet running in my pc nice..but i connect my sister's pc along side with mine and she is currently running a windows xp in her pc but there is no internet connection in her's. Can anyone please explain me what to do and how can i share the internet with her...

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Have a look at this tutorial, which I hope should be of help to you.

An important point to remember is that when sharing between Windows 7 and Windows XP, you need to use a Workgroup and not a Homegroup.

Hiya pal, and welcome to the forums :)
Am I right in saying that you have and Ethernet cable(RJ45) running from the hub to your PC and another Ethernet cable from the hub to your sisters PC ?
Or do both PC's connect directly to the router ?
Is the hub connected to your router or is the "hub" the actual router ?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm just trying to get a clearer picture. Because you shouldn't have to do internet sharing if both PC's are connected independently and it shouldn't matter what OS you are running for both PC's to access the internet

thanks for a prompt reply well i have an ethernet cable connected is running from the hub to my pc and another ethernet from the bug to my sister pc and the last ethernet is connected from the hub to the ADSL modem which support only 1 port.

Hello there, i tried your advice and read upon this with your precious guidance but it seems to me that it is for wireless one and i tried it but mine is a wired connection thus i am not seeing this option.....any other suggestion would be great

thanks for showing me the way but i already checked this setup before entering in this forum...am getting worried that maybe i wasted my money in vain in a hub as i can not afford a router..if it was a router it would be great but this hub being idle and not being used its way too head breaking....

i tried to change some setting by myself but in vain...i upload the screen shot so that you may have an idea:

Looks like your gateway on the XP machine is pointing to 192.168.1.3 where on the Win7 machine it's pointing to 192.168.1.1

Change the gateway on the XP machine to 192.168.1.1

tried.... without success.....
