Got a Kingston router hub with WinME and Win95 computers and cable modem. Both computers can access the Internet through the cable modem but I can't map network drives or have the computers see each other. The ME box can ping itself, the router, and the other computer fine. The Win95 box can ping itself and the router, but gets a "timed out" message when trying to ping the WinME box. Kingston had me swich the cables in the router/hub, reinstall the Win95 NIC, reinstall tcp/ip, and still "time out" message on ping from Win95 box to MEbox. Only thing strange, according to Kingston - NIC in Win95 box has only 1 interrrupt. The ME NIC has 3 shared interrupts, one for the NIC, one for diagnostics, and one for a "PCI Steering" something or other. He says the shared interrupts when installing a NIC should have been taken care of by the OS. I'm clueless here. Any thoughts appreciated.

Please try "tracert" instead of ping. That will perhaps tell you something more about where it stops. Another thing, does the router run any kind of NAT-function?

I've got nearly the same problem with a Win2K machine and a Win98SE machine. From win2k, i can ping myself and the router, but not 98SE. 98SE is pretty much useless, can't ping anything from there but itself. I'm using a linksys befsr41 router w/hardware firewall (NAT)
