Right i have a simple "network" at home with one WinMe and one Win95 Machine but they sometimes dont want to see each other. Most of the time i am unable to browse the network despite being logged on as a user.

Named after the notorious East end Kray twins for the trouble that surrounds them

Ronnie (WinMe)
Reggie (Win95)

I used the networking wizard on Me machine but lets face it it is no harry potter! the disc it created for the 95 machine did nothing when i ran the setup.exe

I have them set on the same subnet 255.255.255.0 Ronnie's IP is 192.168.0.1 and Reggie's is 192.168.0.2
TCP/IP is installed on both machines

i am using a bnc connection.

I have used system in control panel both network cards are working properly

Ronnie is connected to the Internet via a broadband connection and i would like to be able to share this with Reggie (sooner rather than later)

Before i start slagging off Microsoft at the top of my voice because of the OS uncompatibility, have i forgotten something?

please help one very confused bloke! (any suggestions welcome)
