Hi,

 > Specs:
 > #1 Computer
 > Dell
 > Intel 800

 > Win98


Thanks to Mary Wolden's advice below I now have the network card installed
on the correct irq on the Dell Computer

I can now access computer #2 from the Dell and things work fine.  I can
copy and paste files from one computer to the other through the Dell.

However, I am having a problem with computer #2 working correctly.  I can
see the Dell on computer #2 but I can't access the Dell from computer
#2.  When I click the icon for the Dell it tells me the system is not
available.  I have file and print sharing turned on and have shared all my
drives on the Dell as well as computer #2.   The network card installed
correctly on irq 10 on computer #2 the first time.

Could there be a problem because one system runs win98 and the other win98E?
Could there be a problem because one system has an Intel cpu and the other
an Amd cpu?

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Sue Na
