i just set up a linksys 4 port router to split the cable access to my two pc's. i ran the install on the network cards and the internet works fine. and i can see both sys in network neighborhood but can't see any contents, all blank. i have tcp/ip and client for microsoft and file and print sharing protocols loaded and both sys set to share files. both have the same workgroup and one is id'd as number 1, the other number 2 to keep it simple. i noticied that netbois [or whatever] is not listed in the protocols list. is this what i'm missing to access the pc's from each other. do i copy it off of the win98 cdrom or what. sure is great to have internet in different places for when the kids get on their pc.
