I bought a new Dell desktop, running Win XP home edition.
It is connected to Internet via a 56K dial-up modem, and
it works fine.
I decided to use my old desktop, running Win 98SE, to
form a network with the Dell, so I could share files, and
access Internet from this computer as well.
I installed a new network card in my old computer
(installation successful), hooked both machines with a
crossover Cat5 cable, and ran the setup first on the Dell
Win XP, and then ran the "netsetup.exe" floppy on the old
computer, as instructed by the wizard.
Everything works fine except that I can't go on Internet
from the old computer. I can share files (both ways),
share the printer connected on the new computer (USB
port), but I can't reach my dial-up connection from the
old one. Something must be missing???
