First off my networking skills are limited. I have 2 computers. But with xp pro. One has 2 NIC cards. One goes to the cable modem and the other to the other computer. The cards work, and the cable is good, but when i connect the 2 they won't recognixe eachother and it says a network cable is unplugged. They worked fine at the lan party i went to. But now they won't recognize eachother. Please hlp, i'm out of friends to ask.
 
This may be a stupid question but...
Are you using a crossover cable?
 
its a cat 5..... I got a hub and i hooked up. the recognize eachother but the second one still won't go many places on the net. it times out alot.

and also i can't see it on aim and it can't see me
 
The computers are networked to each other, but the second one can't see the net. The first computer doesn't automatically connect the second...you need to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing...google it). Hope this helped!
