Win 2K upgrade / network problem

Hello, I recently upgraded from Win 98 to Win 2K (to cure some IE problems). Previously, my Win 98 PC was networked to one other machine - a Win 2000 server with a cable modem connection. Both could see each other's files, printers (via USB) and access the internet. Now the upgraded PC can't do any of the above. Any ideas how I can get the Win 2K settings back to how they were with Win 98? Cheers

You can have the most recent version of IE on 98 or 2000 you don't have to upgrade a OS for that.
2000 has security built into the OS where 98 didn't. You will have to set up permissions and share files and folders. Go to this link and it will help you.
