There are many good resources on the net for setting up a simple network. The following link should provide you with the basic steps to get you up and running:

Happy computing,

U can run a peer-to-peer network on Win98 and if u want to share an internet connection it is idle.
Install the win98 OS on the machine u want to use and server. In the network setting give the network name and workgroup (computer name/workgroup i.e. server/yourcompany, or user1/yourcompany) check or install the following network components,
1. Client for Microsoft Netowrk
2. Dial-up-adapter (if the server have modem)
2. Network Adapted (Your network card)
3. TCP/IP for Network Adapter (if not going to share a internet connection than, double click on the TCP/IP for Network Adapter and give the following IP address 192.168.0.1, subnet 255.255.255.0) for client use 192.168.0.2 and onward the subnet remains the same.
4. File and Printer sharing for Microsot (if u want to share ur files and printer)

Make the Microsoft Clinet default client and restart that's all repeat the same on Clinet computers.

If u want to share the internet that do not assign the IP address to any of the terminal. On the server go to control pannel internet options and in the connection tab, enable Internet sharing, it will ask for a floppy just ignore it.

On client computer in the control pannel internet option, go to connection tab --->lan setting and enable (automaticaly detect setting)

I hope that this will solve ur problem.

You will need server software on the pc you
designate as the server. NT, 2000, ext.
Otherwise you will be limited to peer to peer.

Good Luck Lee
