Since I have a wireless enabled DSL modem, it is possible, however unlikely, that it acts as the the hub thereby negating the D-Link hub.
However when I disconnected the DSL from the Hub, and switched it back, I still was unable to establish a machine to machine connection.
What I am attempting to do is set up the machines to play head to head. I am rebuilding an older PC to use with these two machines that will function as a server. (Win2k) So I will have a Win2k PC, An XP pc, and a Win2k server.
Now I have no experience in this, however, now that I think of it, I do know someone who is IT certified.... I should call my friend and have him call him.
The other option is to buy a wireless adaptors for both machines.
I simply do not know what the problem is, but I wish I could fix it. The Blue box needs a new floppy drive. So much for Teac being top of the line.
With that I shall try the network disk that XP made and see if that works.
