That would require a second network card in the Windows XP machine, wouldn't
it? Or am I on the wrong track here?
it could be a bit confusing, but i believe craig was meaning ethernet hub.
a 'cross-over network cable' does indicate ethernet hub.
being that modem is usb, and unless xp system is already 'hosting' ethernet,
no second card. so, as he states hub or cross-over network cable.
never did any hosting with oos, but i would imagine that 2nd usb port can be
used for hosting. then a 'double a' usb cable is needed, or a usb hub with 2
'a-b' cables. or, 1 'a-b' cable with a 'b-a' adapter and no usb hub.
if xp system is using usb for mouse, and no usb 3, 4, usb hub will be needed.
anyway, i just read back thru above. i hope i did not confuse you more.
