    Hi, thank you very much for your help. I'm really sorry if I took long to
    read it, I came back from my vacations the day before yesterday.
    ell, thanks for helping ^^
    My problem right now is... my network =S It just does NOT work, and I need
    to fix it right away.
    Here's how I have set it up...
        My comp (Win XP): in the folder Network connections there I have Local
    Area connection and it corresponds to my network/lan card. The connection
    uses these items: Client for Microsoft Networks; File and printer sharing
    for Microsoft Netoworks; WinPoET PPPoE Optimized driver (guess this is
    because of WinPoet, lol); Internet protocol (TCP/IP). I configured this last
    one to use the address 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. That is
    all.
        My sister's comp (Win 98): In Network Neighborhood I set up the
    properties of her lan card to: default gateway to 192.168.0.1 and the IP was
    set to be set automatically, but then I changed that to 192.168.0.2 and
    subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
       Botch PCs are configured with an individual name and the workgroup name
    as HOME.

        Well... the network does not exist. What else should I do? =\
        Thanks in advance, you were really helpful =)
            -Damian.
