Higuys, thanks for the tips. Fortunately I was playing around in the BIOS a couple days after the last post and was able to figure out what was wrong. The system performance setting was at "optimal" instead of normal. Once I changed that, 98 was as stable as it was going to get...
I took Zonealarm off of both computers and that seems to have made a difference. I am now able to ping both computers from my desktop and vice-versa.
However, in Network neighborhood on win 98, it still says network inaccessible. From XP I cannot find the laptop using the search command or...
I'm having a problem with a simple two computer network using a crossover cable between my desktop (XP) and laptop (98SE).
On my desktop, I am able to ping both computers (set up as 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2). On my laptop, I am only able to ping itself, I get a "request timed...
CS, thanks for the help. I finally was just fooling around with the config. for the LAC and found that TCP/IP was installed for the card. Took that off and everything is working fine now and I have only one network showing in the Task Manager. Thanks again,

CS, my network connection is still hanging, as does "view network connections" in the Control Panel. Like I said, it's not a total system freeze, I can still run the few programs that I have loaded on here, Eudora, Opera, Netscape etc.
As soon as my desktop appears, I click on the...
Thanks CS, I did the new installation and just formatted the drive. So now I have a clean install and have set up my DSL network connection and still get the 1 minute delay after initial start-up. Everything seems to be running fine after it actually gets going. Any ideas on this delay?

I have done an upgrade from Win 98 Se to XP home edition and have been having a few problems. After the system starts, I have problems starting my internet connection and Norton Antivirus programs. Norton is loaded on start up, but the icon in the system tray has a red X through it and does...
Jeter, it is a static IP. Subnet is the same (255.255.255.0).
Wybnormal, the funny thing is, I had no problem with the same set-up when I first did the install. Everything was working fine. Taking your advice I tried reinstalling the drivers for the USB and that did not seem to make a...
I have networked my desktop and laptop computers together using a NIC in the desktop and a USB ethernet adapter for the laptop. I had it up and running when I first did the installation of netwrok using TCP/IP. After taking my laptop on a recent trip, I tried to hook the two computers up again...
Hi guys, thanks for the responses, have tried all of the above will try new memory this afternoon. Video card is on IRQ 11, ethernet card is on 5. The only IRQ on which there is a shared device is 14 and 15. The VIA bus master shares with the primary and secondary IDE controller respectively...
Was running 128 MB when I first bought the system, added the second 128 hoping that might help the problem. Both the same type of RAM (identical sticks). Will consider trying new RAM when the stores open again tomorrow.
One thing I have noticed is that it does seem freeze more while I am...
