hello ppl.
i have a dilema here, i have recenntly purchases a second pc for my son, and i thought that i would network it up, so that he can use my insternet connection and pritner.
so i purchased a hub, cables and two network cards.
i installed netbui, tcp/ip, and i could see both the computers in network neighbourhood, but could not get it to ping each other, after hours of fustration i finally got them to ping, but then i installed aol 6.0 and for some reason i cannot ping nor can i get network neighbourhood to find the other pc, even if i try to find it through the search.
can any one help me please, do i need to uninstall aol 6.0 and try using aol 5.0, or do i need to reconfigure my pc .
any suggestions would be much appreciated.
