I am trying to network a xp and 98 machine together
through a Lynksys router. Both will work on the internet,
but when I try to get them to see each other, they won't.
I have shut off all firewalls on both machines, including
the xp firewall, but to no avail. If anyone can point me
in the right direction, if there is one, or give me any
information it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
