Hello, I had a question about networking two computers together. My girlfriend got an old computer from her dad's office. She is only going to use it for small things, writting papers, messing around on the internet, nothing big so we cleaned up the memory and old files and all. It is still running on Windows 98. I am on XP (just to get that out of the way).
Anyways, I have a hub that I know is a working hub. I ran my connection into that, and then from the hub into both computers. I did the network wizard and set everything up and even made the boot disk and installed it all into the Win 98 computer. I obviously have internet, her computer shows that she is connected to the internet but when she goes to open a webpage she cannot do it. Also, we are still unable to access files from each others computers.
Any suggestions?
