Since you aren't going through any server, you aren't going to be able to do this without adding more software for both computers.

To be able to "see" and access a Windows PC from a Mac client you need something like "Dave" from Thursby Software (www.thursby.com).

To be able to "see" and access a Macintosh computer from a Windows client, you need an Appletalk client like PC MACLAN from Miramar Systems (www.miramar.com).

Hope this helps.

If the 2 machines have Ethernet connectors (RJ-45), they look like regular phone connectors, only larger, you can use a cross-over cable to physically connect the two machines.

Then get DAVE for the Mac so that the Mac and Win98 can see each other.
