Have two computers, one home xp, other Windows 98 networked together. XP machine is dial out to connect to Internet. Want to be able to connect to the Internet once the XP machine is logged on with the Windows 98 machine, by using the XP connection. Had it working at one time, but now it's not and not sure what happended to change it.

Thanks..
Bill

Check your network protocols on the 98 machine. Be sure it is set to retrieve tcp/ip automatically (DHCP enalbed). I believe you need the NETBUI protocol on the 98 machine too, to "see" the xp machine and vice versa.
