You are sure both machines are getting assigned the same IP address cause I know that those cable modems will assign up to 2 IP's by default. I would run WinIPcfg again on both machines just to double check. I would still get a router just for the sake ov having a hardware firewall and just one firewall, now you have to protect both machines seperately. Maybe a Mod could see what IP's you have logged on your post to check my suspicion.

well what kind of internet access do you have? Plus if IP was working AT ALL you would have a unique address, you need to be more specific in you post. what operating system are you using. you don't need to have an extra ip address to play a game over ipx. if you can be more specific I can solve your problem.

Win98,1 IP, And so the Cox@home people say I should not be able to do this because of DHCP.I know IPX is for the game but I launch an Internet Multi so does IPX still reserve itself for that? I did not think so.The tranfer is via TCP/IP.The only dif is the Comp name..........

Do you have a modem in both computers? if so, then that is why you are seeing the 0.0.0.0 IP address when you run winipcfg. Run it again this time clicking the dropdown arrow to select the network adapter. Unless BlackIce does something really crazy you should be getting assigned a unique IP address for each computer. Also, try going out to a MS-DOS prompt while in windows and doing an ipconfig /all and see what gives you, that is a text version of winipcfg and will give you the info on all "network" adapters at one time.

That shouldn't work. Are both PC's Online at the same time with the Same IP? Windows would tell you that there's a conflict is they where.

OK with cox@home the modem will assign up to 3 ips using dhcp as far as the name messing it up one digit if you changed the last letter -a to -b that is the second fo your 3 ips. As far as not having an ip address you are looking at the ppp adapter and not you nic card in winipcfg there is no way you can be on the internet without diffrent ips. With cox or any cable modem setup i have dealt with you dont need a router; a hub or switch will work just fine. X
No really That paper thingy you took out of the box with all the words on it was not packing material its called a "MANUAL"
