I set up this 4-port router yesterday to work with my ADSL connection. At the time I only had one PC connected to the router, and the connection was fine. At the moment I'm trying to connect a second PC to the router. Both PCs are able to access the internet through the router, my problem is that they cannot see each other.

Suggestions?

Both PCs are connected to the router with straight-through cables. They also seem to be connecting at only 10MBps LAN, though both network cards and the router itself are capable of 100MBps LAN.

Currently both PCs are set to automatically obtain their IP addresses. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Note: File and printer sharing is enabled for my connection on both machines, and all drives are shared properly as far as I know.

Change to cross-over cables.

Nevermind everyone, I found the source of the problem. It wasn't cross-over cable either, as I tried that and still had no luck.

The problem was an internet dialer program installed on the laptop, which has been causing massive problems on that machine recently. As soon as I removed it, the network was working perfectly. Anyone using the "ca.inter.net" dialer may want to take note of it's problems.

Thanks for the help!
