Hey Thanks Ron. I'll check that out. Some more info: I set static addresses
to both computers (192.168.0.1 & 2) and they connect and can share files and
printers but I can't get ICS to work even though the W98 machine says the
gateway is open. The 20 second startup lag I never mentioned disappears too
(no surprise). I assume that "obtain IP addresses automatically" must be set
to get ICS to work?
I'll try and kill the ghosts. If the device manager trick doesn't work, what
do think about editing the registry? After setting a restore point, of
course.
