Hi, I have 4 computers that all share a 2mb charter fast internet
connection. I have two XPs and 2 WIN98se. The proplem is that none of them can share a printer or share files. I have manaully shared drives, ran network setups, but it does nothing. I always get errors: ex: not avaible or stuff like that. I have been working and using networks for a couple of years, but this is boggling to me. I believe that it may be because of the mix network of wired and wireless. Here is the specs: PC1WinXP connects via wire 100mbps to netgear MR814(wireless hub). One win98 and the other xp connect via wirelessly w/MA 101. All the computers, have to go through a setup, first for wireless internet, go http://192.168.0.1 and run a automatic setup. then restart and the computer has internet. For wired pcs, nothing pnp. But for win98 i cant share files it drives me crazy! please help me and any advice towards win 98 and network please! tia. -Andrew |

If you're not, and it sounds like you're not, you SHOULD be using a good
Router to connect the four computers to the Internet. The Router will also act as a hardware Firewall. And it will enable you to share files among your computers. I recommend and use the brand Linksys. -- DaveW "Andrew" wrote in message om... Hi, I have 4 computers that all share a 2mb charter fast internet connection. I have two XPs and 2 WIN98se.
