Howard,
If you're connecting two comps directly to each other I believe you'll need a
crossover cable. Also, WinXP also has a networking wizard that will create a
floppy you run on the 98se comp. ICS is the internet connection sharing, you
mentioned the client only wanted to share files. Make sure you set a folder
or directory on each machine to be shared with the other.
HTH,
