I thought I had a network, and maybe did, until I rebooted. For once, I
had both computers show in Network Neighborhood on each computer. Now, as
before, both computers show in Network Neighborhood on one computer, but
not the other.
I tried the IP addresses recommended on this list, most recently by Peter
Shkabara, but had same results as with Obtain an IP address
automatically. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ethernet cards.
Checked and rechecked settings. Hub shows both cards active. Device
Manager, each computer, says each card is working, with no conflicts.
Tried different drivers, MS Win98, floppies that came with cards, and
update driver from manufacturer's website. Should I favor one driver over
others, until I resolve problem?
Which computer shows both computers in Network Neighborhood depends on
which computer boots first. That mean anything?
