Both machines have Client for Microsoft Networks, Microsoft Family Logon,
D-Link PCI Adapter, Dial-Up Adapter, Internet Connection Sharing, NetBEUI,
TCP/IP, and File and Printer Sharing.  I installed ICS on the main machine,
and it prompted me to insert a floppy and copy an ICS file to install on the
secondary machine.  I read on the Windows ICS webpage that I should go into
TCP/IP and assign an IP address to both machines, so I have assigned the
main computer 192.168.0.1 and the secondary computer 192.168.0.2 .

The machines are each seeing themselves on the network, but not the other.
I still am not getting a green light on one of the NIC cards, so it may be
bad.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.  If anyone thinks it would be
more appropriate to continue corresponding about this privately so as not to
tie up the list, feel free.

Thanks,
Debbie Alspaugh
