Tuesday morning I could not get on line or get connected with Outlook for Email. My wife & I are networked & share the comcast cable. Up until now everything was fine, no roblems. 2 days before my problem she installed a new firewall on her computer. I don't know if this has anything to do with my not being able to get online but it seems a little suspect. I want to know my IP address because she can see when her computer gets pinged. If it's mine doin the pinging we should be able to un-block me & I'll have access again. We are networked thru her computer.
Anyone got any ideas?

Almost forgot..
So, with this Linksys Router I don't need a firewall???
It says it's a "LYNKSYS 5 group workgroup Hub".

For once I can tell my wife she's puting too much shit on her computer!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

No, You have a Linksys hub, not a router, a hub is just a network collision maker, get yourself a Linksys Broadband router with a 4 port switch, then you will have a firewall and a faster switch. The hub would work fine for networking up to 5 computers but it serves no other purpose. It does not let you share a broadband connection, its your wifes computer that is sharing the connection with you and from what you said, she is most likely running XP.
