My customer has a  Win98SE machine (Intel Celeron 400) using a internal
modem to connect to the internet.  She wants to share files (only) with a
WinXP-pro machine (PIII 1GH).  We purchased a NIC for the XP machine and
connected it to the Win98SE (internal NIC) with no problems so far.  We ran
the wizards, installed NETBUI on the XP machine, bought a book, and
consulted the web...  We now have this situation:  The XP machine does not
list itself on a network (not even the name of the workgroup), the Win98SE
does in network neighborhood.  I can ping each machine with no loss but each
machine cannot see each other in My Network Places, etc.  Each is set up
with the same workgroup and different name.  I tested the cable connecting
to a XP laptop, no problems. I tried the ICS wizards from the XP CD on each
machine also with no results.  I´m definitly not a network guru, just
break/fix and troubleshoot, but this is the first setup I have not been able
to complete.  The host is set to 168.192.0.1 and internet dialup networking
has always worked. I disabled ZoneAlarm.   Is there something simple I am
missing?  Thank you for your help.
