Hello everyone.
I went and found some very helpful information here:
http://kb.indiana.edu/data/ahcj.html?cust=9164821.2065.30
I was able to set up direct cable connection from the old win 98 pc, and make
it the Host.
I was able to go to Network Connections and make a new connection to directly
connect to another computer as a Guest. I did it step by step using those
instructions.
So far, so good.
I put that cable that I'm assuming is a crossover cable in the spot where the
cable modem goes on both computers <while they are shut down>.
I don't know, but maybe the cable is bad.
On the new computer, if I try to use it first, I get this message: Error 777
The operation failed because the modem for the other connecting service is out
of order.
If I start with the old computer as Host, I get the error of a big red x.
In Direct Cable Connection it says: This connection is not functioning
properly. And to try again later.
Any suggestions?

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
