That is precisely what I have already done, and I can still only ping in
certain combinations but mostly pinging doesn't work. Yet TCP/IP is clearly
working on the same machines for my dialup adapter (on all three machines,
56k fax modems work fine) and for my cable modem (on machine 1 the internet
is quite available). So, while I can't say that TCP/IP is for sure working
on my Phone link adapters, the same TCP/IP protocol is installed and working
just fine in all 3 machines in other (parallel) adapters. I have tried to
remove all instances of TCP/IP and re-install, but the same results ensue.
Right now my computers are indeed addresses as 192.168.0.1 through .3. That
is why I am so baffles. Again, to re-iterate, my network works fine as in
file sharing and seeing each machine in Network Neighborhood. Mind you, I
haven't tried to remove all NetBUEI instances and see if the network still
runs on TCP/IP. I guess I should try that next, since that is really the
critical question.

If you have both NetBEUI and TCP/IP installed, and your
network only works in Windows, that means there's likely
something wrong with the way your network is configured for
TCP/IP. (Windows will be using NetBEUI, if installed, as
the protocol for your LAN.)

For test purposes, give each machine an IP address manually
(if you haven't already). Keeping with convention, it would
be a good idea to use 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. After
all machines are re-booted, see if you can ping around,
using the 192.168.0.x addresses.
