I have a Win 98 PC that when I "log" on to the Peer to Peer network, the PC will lock up when trying to open MS Word or other programs. If I do not "log" on to the network the PC operates properly. The shared PC is a Win NT box, but I have 3 other Win 98 PC's connecting to it and they operate properly. Any clues ??

it is clear that the problem is with the network configuration .Do the following

1) on a working win 98 computer right click network and select properties note down all the components and their properties listed
2) on the problem computer removeall items including the adapter and reinstall all of them exactly as you noted in 1) above .

restart the computer and try your luck !!!

Good Luck

Hi

1- Check your NIC. exchange it with the other pc's and see if you have the same problem.

2- Check your cable.

it seems that your pc is trying to connect to network but there is a problem some where.
