Hi Guys!
Can anyone help me in setting up a Home Network? I have 2 desktops and a laptop at home that I want to set up. I have a Linksys Router and connected them by DCHP enabled. I will be sharing the internet connection also. I already set up the Win XP by following the XP wizard in Networking set up. My problem is that I can not connect my Win98 desktop to the 2 XP. How can I connect Win98 to XP so that I could browse shared folders and printers?

1. At first try to ping your XP machine.
2. If step 1 is successful then find out the file sharing is enabled in XP machine.
3. If step 1 one is not successful then try setting up the network again.
