Networks

You made no mention of what ip addresses you tried, or of the sub net mask used. I would suggest 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 using 255.255.255.0 as a sub net mask. Win98 SE permits internet connection sharing if it was installed, and is quite simple, but before you attempt it be sure you can ping the computer ip's from each other. It appears your problem is the network connection and not the internet sharing, so look into that and get it working first. You don't have a DHCP server in your configuration so that definetly wouldn't work. And you don't need IPX/SPX on a windows network. Once the tcp/ip is resolved you won't need netbuei either.
Hope this helps and good luck.

I run into this all the time.
First what is the IP Address of the LAN side of the DSL Router. If it is 10.100.0.0 (Can be anything) You will need to match that IP Scheme.

Ex. If Verizon gives you a LAN port IP address of 10.100.1.1, you first IPAddress will be 10.100.1.2 and so on. This is only true if you have all the machines connect to hub in the DSL router or directly into the DSL router.

If you are using software connect to a DSL router, you can set up any scheme, you will need to enter the the DSL routers LAN Port address to your gateway.(your documentation should tell you where to input the gateway address)

Then when you are all done, ping 127.0.0.1 to check if TCP/IP is installed correctly.

then Ping all your machine IP's and lastly ping the gateway.
If all pings return fine, you all set

Take Care
