I just connected three home computers with a Linksys Router. Two of the boxes are running Windows ME. One of those is a laptop with a wireless connection. Both of these boxes communicate perfectly, sharing the DSL connection, the printer, and various files. These two machines not only see each other; they also see the third box. But--
The third box is Windows 98 SE. It shares the DSL and the printer without a problem, but it can't see the other two boxes. They aren't visible in its version of Network Neighborhood. I'm thinking that this could be because the third box isn't "officially" logged into the network. That is to say, the log-in window for the network doesn't come up when I boot the machine. (Of course, if I'm not logged in how am I getting on the DSL line?)
Anyone ever encounter a situation like this before? Any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks,
Brode
