Steven,

It sounds like a configuration problem to me. Either the cards or the protocols. Follow this link to check out Microsoft's Win95/98 troubleshooting page.

I did see something about CE Services causing a problem. Anyway, good luck.

Go out an Buy 2 X 10Base T Ethernet Cards and a Crossover cable long enough to reach between the two.

If you have them setup in the same workgroup and on the same subnet with your IP addresses i.e. 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 you should be OKAY.

The most important thing is the crossover cable.

Cost approx = $40 australian for the 2 cards (cheaper if you buy second hand)
$10 for the cable

you now have a network that is 10X the speed with little cost and shouldnt be a problem.


Good luck.
