All you have to do is give every pc a IP like

IP  192.168.0.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0
192.168.0.2
192.168.0.1
 all with the same subnet mask you might have access problems witht hte w2k
machine as security on thse machines is alot different to a win9x machine,
you will have to create user accounts on the 2k machine.

Subject: [PCBUILD] networking/creating a subnet


i am trying to network three computers, two desktops and one laptop, each w/
a different OS (windows 98, windows 2000, and windows ME on the laptop).
using a Netgear 4 port 10 base-t ethernet hub (model EN104), i have only
been able to get one computer online at a time.  through trial and error, my
roommates and i have concluded that the computer that works is the first one
booted up when all the cables are in place and the hub and modem are turned
on.  speaking to a more computer literate coworker, i was instructed to
create a subnet so that all the computers can run on a single ip address.  i
hope that is what you think i need and if it is, i hope you can tell me how
to do it.
