It's fairly uncomplicted to toss out your network configuration and start over at each machine. WIN98, just right click NetNeighborhood, select properties, and Remove all the components except the NIC. Then restart and re-Add the components one by one. You may need the locale of your Cabs or the Win98 CD. Make sure you install File and Print Sharing for each PC's Net config too. I'm guessing your protocol is TCPIP or NetBEUI. Either one will work. To facilitate sharing put both computers in the same Workgroup. I'm guessing the NetGear is doling out IP addresses (DHCP) and is the Internet gateway?
