Wink Installed 3 com network card

I recently installed a 3 com network card (3C509B-TPO) into my old Compaq Presario CDS 520. I am running Windows 95 on this computer. My goal is to network this computer with two other computers (running Win 98) and my laptop (running Win 98). It appears that I was successful installing the card into the old Compaq (C2), because the other computers can now see the Compaq, and when I go to the other computers in the network (C1, C3 and C4), I can also see C2.

The problem is this: when I click on the Compaq (C2) icon - I get a blank window, anywhere on the network. So, I can't see the C2 files anywhere. But, when I go to any of the other computers, I can see the icon for C2, but when I click on C2 - the folder is blank, or empty. The strange part about this is when I am at C2, I can see the files for C1, C3 and C4 !!!

Can anyone help ???

What an I doing wrong ???

How can I get the network to see the files of C2, anywhere on the system ???

Thank you.

You have to enable file and print sharing on C2, and also share the drive.
