A7N8X-X onboard lan problem

Hi,
I have recently installed a new mobo which has an onboard network card?
The board is the Asus A7N8X-X with the nVidia chipset.
Anyway my main OS is Win2k, and I have a Win98se machine with a Realtek NIC
in.
Before I installed the new board in the win2k machine, there was a Realtek
NIC there too and I could share files between the 2 machines, but now
neither machine can see each other, altho' I can ping each of them, and the
network neighborhood icon shows something happening.

Any solution? If I have to re install the Realtek card I will, but seems
that the on board nic is better for my adsl connection?

Are the two IP addresses in the same subnet ?

Presumably, since he can ping them both.

This seems to be a problem higher up than TCP/IP - there does seem to be
some problems with networking between Win2k and Win9x, it can be a right
PITA to get working.

Ensure that ONLY TCP/IP is installed as a protocol, unless you know need any
others.

Maybe they are in a different workgroup. This could explain the fact that
you can ping them, but you don't see them in Windows.
