I have 2 pcs (PC #A > Win xp) (PC #B > Win 98se) I've got
a DSL internet connection connected via a USB DSL modem
into the USB port on PC #A. I've run the setup wizard on
#A and created a disc to run on #B no problems very easy.
Run the Disc on #B goes through the process of set up.
Ask to restart does fine, restarts log on. Done
Everything fine. File Sharing Internet active. Everything
works.

Turn PC #B off for some reason or to restart or turn both
off at end of using them. Restart and the connection is
gone on both. Neither one recognises the other. So the
disc settings are correct the hardware works.

However #B is the problem, if I go to Network>entire
network no pc on there. On #A everything is fine nothing
changes.

HELP! I've tried setting it up by adding the ip myself.
Different protocols, but don't think that is the problem.
Might be in the BIOS but can't see where. I'm lost surley
this is suppose to be this way
 
make sure no firewall running on the xp.

Have got zonealarm running but when the network is
working i still have zonealarm running. I did try it
without. Did have Norton aswell but got rid of it. This
is the thing I don't understand how any of that can be
the problem because i don't change the xp settings
between running the wizard disc on the 98 PC and it
restarting. When it restarts it works, until it restarts
again.
