Connect two win 98 using dial up net???

Probably the simplest way is to use Hyperterminal. You should find this under Programs/Communications. If there is no icon there, go to Control Panel/Add-Remove Programs/Windows Setup/Communications and add the Hyper Terminal file.

i don't want to use Hyperterminal.

Using Multilink Channel Aggregation
If the service you connect to offers a secondary phone number,you may be able to use the multi-link channel
Click Multilink tab in the connection property sheet.
On the Multilink page,select the Use Additional Devices option button. Then click the Add button and specify the nam of the additional device (the modem name as it appears in Modems Properties) and the phone number that the added modem will be dialing.
Hope this helps

install personal web server on one of your w98 machine configure it with the pws automatic homepage wizard to build your webpage.as this is an automatic installation
it will give you your assigned webpage located in your system root write it exactly
the path then give that address to the other w98 machine fire up your internet then tell to the operator of the other machine to connect to your pwserver,but before that enable your file and print sharing under your networking applet in your control panel. so that the other computer can access
your computer smoothly.pws.exe is located in your w98cdrom add ons choose typical installation only. bye

I would install NETBEUI on both machines, configure one of your machines as a DialUp server like you have done and then configure you username and password. You don not need a static IP, DNS, or WINS. That is most likely your problem...

I would agree with doing everything Jason said, and, you need to get your pc's on a network first. I don't know if you included that in your summary, I didn't see it stated anywhere.

You shouldn't need to use TCP/IP for this connection- NetBEUI should do the trick if you just want to share files. You also shouldn't need to even go near HyperTerminal or Personal Web Server.

For this connection, you should also do the following: 1) On the Server Type button of your Dial Up Server properties, set it to use PPP rather than default, and check 'Enable software compression" but DO NOT check 'Require encrypted password'- that's what's causing the time lag in logging on. 2) On the Properties menu of the DUN connection (your friend's connection) uncheck 'Use area code and Dial Properties' on the General tab, 3) in the same DUN properties on the Server Type tab, uncheck everything except 'Enable Software Compression' and 'NetBEUI' 4) On the Scripting and Multilink tabs of the same DUN properties, leave everything blank 5) Make certain that your friend has NetBEUI->Dial Up Adapter in his Network properties in the Control Panel, otherwise add it.

This should hopefully get you up and running. If this doesn't work, I'll post a second idea.

Although the procedure you are trying to accomplish is rather simple there just isn't enough space provided in the forum to cover all the steps. I have e-mailed you the information that should get you setup. Good luck with your project and feel freeto e-mail me with any questions. Jerry

"I also set static IP, DNS and WINS" If you don't have a DNS or WINS server on either end this won't help. Try creating LMHOST entries for each PC. Does the connection stay up long enough for you to ping the other PC by it's address? Can you use winipcfg to find out what the default gateway setting for your session is?

Try using PCAnyWhere. Simple to install. Set one machine as Host and the other as Remote.

judging by what I see in the question, and the answers... there are a few ways you can do this. I too would recommend PC anywhere for ease, and cost/headache effectiveness. If you need a good long term solution that is independant of the operatingsystem and the machine :::if you need something easy to set up when you switch things around::: check into a ras device, I run Shiva Lanrovers both at home and work, although its a bit higher level solution they do have single port ras devices that simply go on the network with their own IP, allowing you to give the actual machines dynamic, or even masqeraded IP's with nat...
