Hi Shakeel,

Is there a router involved? If you are connecting each machine to the other
with a cable it MUST be a crossover cable, not a straight thru one.

While i'm at i'm having another problem. I have two system running win
98SE which i want to network. I'm using an Ethernet Lan Card on both
machine. Any of the 2 machines can't see their peers in the Network
Neighborhood.

My Ethernet Lan Card is bounded by TCP/IP setting of 198.160.100.1 for
one and 198.160.100.2 for the second one, with a SubMask of
255.255.255.0 for both. I use Full10 Mode for one while the other one
is set to Auto. Some times i've to set both toAuto as it will not get
pass over the Windows Splash Screen and i'll have to reboot using Safe
Mode with Network...

Can someone give me some tips about what i'm doing wrong?

Thanking you beforehand
