Im trying to remember how you set the IP numbers on 98. On ME (think its the same for 98) get into control panel. Go to Network. Then go down to the TPC/IP part of the configuration tab.

Highlight the network adaptor and click properties. On the IP Addresses tab you can enter something like 192.168.0.1 on the first line and on the second line something like 255.255.255.0 and click ok and restart.

That should all be on the host.

On the client you can leave all that to "obtain IP address automaticly." I wouldnt do it manually unless the automatic thing didnt work.

Sometimes youll get conflicts if they are BOTH set to "obtain automaticly". They both try to grab the same address. Having one permanently set to a specific address can help alot.

Let me know how it goes [img]smile.gif[/img]
