Hi I connected 3 pc's to have internet with a hub and router. but how do I make them share files? I already have done the right click>sharing and security>share thing but still the other pc doesn't find it. please help me.

oh and I put in these ip adresses:
pc1: ip:                192.168.1.2
       submask:       255.255.255.0
       def gateway: 192.168.1.1

       dns1:            192.168.1.1

pc2: ip:                192.168.1.3
       submask:       255.255.255.0
       def gateway: 192.168.1.1

       dns1:            192.168.1.1

pc3: ip:                192.168.1.4
       submask:       255.255.255.0
       def gateway: 192.168.1.1

Hi
what you need is ifone computer is working Properly surely others they need to be connected.
so if they is a two Network card what you need is to make a Bridge between two connection and you will be able to connect all the rest of your computer.

My network place  -  View network connection  - and highlight two Local network and right click and click on the bridge the network

i hope your problems willsorted out.

Your hub and router probably don't provide internal dns services.  You could navigate to other pc's using the ip address, you could build a dns server for your netwokr or you could download and install a small dns application from "download.com" and run it on two of your internal workstations (the two that stay on most frequently).  You'll have to make one of them dns 1 and the other dns 2 and you'll have to configure forwarders on the dns service (I usually use open dns address: 208.67.222.222 and
208.67.220.220
