I'm trying to network my 4 computers. I'm using a Linksys WRT54G router. Two computers are win 98 and two are win xp. I gave each one an IP address but I can't ping none of the computers. None of them has any problems connecting to the internet. They just can't communicate to each other. I must have not done something right. Can someone get me a detail instructions how to setup a network?

(WinXP by default enables its software firewall when installed so you may not know your XP boxes have firewalls up.)
