I recently setup a small office network with a Compaq Windows XP as my front end machine, another XP machine and a Win 98 Laptop running in two other rooms. The 'other' XP has it's own phone connection for Internet but the Laptop needs to connect through the network. I'm using a Compaq iPAQ-CP_2E Router with no problems sharing files. The only problem I'm having is I cannot get on-line with the Laptop. Even with both XP machines already on-line.

Sounds like you've got DNS IP related issues, are you using ICS and if so how is it configured?

You shouldn't even use need the router. Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) then your other laptops will look to the XP machine as a DHCP Server and Internet Provider. Works great.
