If I can add my 2 pence worth. . .

If your using NTL / Telewest B/Band you can not just plug your hub
into the Cable Modem, it wont work.
Plugging it into a router/firewall will work, you need to
set your workstations to use DHCP if the router has that
switched on (most do)

I have a similar set up to yours, I have 3 PC's running
windows 2000, mine has 2 x NIC's, I guess your PC
is set to 192.168.0.1 - if you are using Microsoft Web Sharing.
On the PC that's having the problem, make sure there is no conflict
between the XP fire wall and Zonealarm.
Make sure you have a local trusted ip range in your
firewall rules.
Up to this point my network had the same problem, the only
way I could resolve it was to uninstall V5 and use V4.5 of Zonealarm
that's how I got mine to work.

This is my own personal experience.

Regards
Mike.
