Make sure the share is set as "Read-Write" instead of "read only"

I want to set up a two computer network with a win2k host and a win98 client and I'll be damned if I can get either computer to recognize each other. Both have TCP/Ip installed and both have certain folders specified. Both have admins logged on with the same password. Both have file and print sharing enabled. Both have the same workgroup name. The host has two network cards installed, one to the internet the other to the client but I get a message saying that the "network cable is unplugged". The cables are in working condition. Whats up with this?..it should be easy.
