I have two pc's both running 98se and they are linked together with a Lynksys befsr41 router.The pc's go from their eithernet cards to the router and the router into my cable modem.What i was wanting was a network with full file sharing and internet sharing.What i got was was exactly that but heres my problem.When i turn on both pc's and let them boot all the way up i only have internet sharing between the two,and no network.What i must do to gain access to the network is click start-logoff-yes then that pc can see the network but not access it.Then i must do the same to the other pc to to have full network access between the two pc's.Now heres the real weird part if i am at the point where i am not logged on to the network (like after a restart) and i install a game i can see it and play just fine but when i click start-logoff-yes and log on to the network the game i just installed is gone,no listing for it in the programs menu and no desktop icon. The same thing happens on the other pc.Its almost like i have 2 users per pc, but when i check users within control panel there are none listed.All i want is to be able to log on to an existing network automatically after a restart or shutdown.And it would be nice to not have to install programs twice ON BOTH MACHINES.Am i asking for too much here? or is there a solution? P.S. i have tried all the primary network logon choices. Help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank You Darin :)
