Keith,

How is your network setup?  You have a cable connected to a cable modem. 
  From there is it ethernet or usb?  does it go to a computer (which 
one?) or a router?  (or maybe a hub?)

The answers may have some bearing on how to setup your machines.  I use 
a SMC router and my clients all get their ip and dns stuff from the dhcp 
server in the router.  I did need to setup the dns in the router but 
that only needs to be done once.

Just checked the downstairs machine and that can piong this upstairs machine

I do not have any DNS settings downstairs as I do not have any stable IP 
I can use.

Can you explain how you have no DNS IP address?


XP uses dhcp to setup its network therefore ther is no dns shown. As I 
do not have any IP's
that I can use there are non on the lan machine downstairs.
