You have to enable File and Printer Sharing, share & designate at least one
blank folder in each computer (you can put a bogus file in there if you wish),
add Netbeui protocol to your Network settings. And also make sure that you
designate the Printer as being shared and that each computer join the same (as
it is spelled exactly in each computer) workgroup.

I am trying to connect my two computers together and am not having any luck.
One computer is XP and the other is W98. I installed an Ethernet card in
each computer and connected them with an CAT5e crossover cable. I ran the
Network wizard on the XP computer and created a disk to use in the W98
computer. I want to use the XP computer to connect to the net and be able
to share the printers that are connected to the XP computer with the W98
computer. When I open My Network Places I cannot see the other computer.
Neither can I see the XP computer from the W98 computer. The lights on the
Ethernet cards are active. What am I missing? Has anyone accomplished
these with any success?
Thanks for any replies.
