Trying to set up and Win XP Pro machine with a Win98SE Laptop. Directly
connected the two machines with RJ-45 cable, ran the network wizard on XP
machine (call this server). Ran network setup on laptop and when laptop
boots, getting error no domain to verifty password. If I check the laptop
network places it shows the XP box but you cannot view anything on it. The
XP machine does not show the network at all. Anybody know what other
settings I need to check?

Thank you for your assistance.

Rob:

1) Yes, using crossover cable
2) We did set up ICS because the WinXP box is connected to internet via
DSL (would like to share the connection), I have a router and that was going
to be my next attempt. Workgroup name is the same on both. Used the setup
file off XP installation disk on 98 machine to configure the the setting to
connect through another machine to internet. It may be netbeui as the
culprit I will check that also. Thank you for your assistance.
