Firstly the information, I live in a College hostel, and me any many of my friends have computers in the room. We all are using the Operating system Windows XP Pro SP2. We needed to connect all out computers to each other, so we bought the cheapest possible HUB, a $12, 100mbps hub, and connected the computers together, everything is fine so far and the LAN is working fine, we had no internet connection in any of our computers. Recently I received permission from college to connect my computer to the LAN of the college, thereby giving me Internet access to, but I have only one Network card in the computer, So I plugged in the college LAN cable in the hub, and also mine in the hub, and thus I have internet, the only problem now is that everyone who is connected to the hub has internet access, all they have to do is assign themselves an IP, say, 192.168.xx.xx, and a default gateway 192.168.52.1 and default nameserver 192.168.52.1. This situation is however not acceptable, is it possible in any way that the other computers do not get access to the college LAN, The hub is not configurable at all as it is just the cheapest one. ------------------------- http://kniwor.wordpress.com

No big deal, I was just looking for a quick solution. ------------------------- http://kniwor.wordpress.com

Only allow your computer a connection to the internet The only way I can think of accomplishing this is to buy a secondary network card. Setup one connection to receive and IP automatically, and then you would probably setup the other one as a 192.168.0.X ip on each computer. However, even there I am not sure how well it would work. ------------------------- irc.globalgamers.net Channels are #freedom and #forums.amd.irc. Unofficial chat on both. Rigs: AMD 3700, MSI RD 480 Neo 2, X850Xt, 2GB GSkill Dell Latitude D810, Pentium M 740, 128MB (ded.) X600, 2GB Crucial AMD 3200, GB K8NS Ultra, x800xlaiw, 2GB Corsair.
