Hi,
I have installed wireless cards in both my XP pro computer with broadband and 98se computer in order to print, file and internet share.
I set up an SSID and have both cards connected in as much as they can ping each other. However I am unable to do anything else. In 98se I can open network neighbourhood then entire network but no computers are shown.
