I have a Dlink Wirless Broadband Router. I'm trying to
network my win95 computer with my winxp computer.
Sometimes both computers see the connection, but when I
restart them they cannot see the connection.

In addition. I'm trying to setup the winxp computer as the
internet server, (using the Dlink wireless router) for my
win95 computer and laptop (wireless connetion).

A lotta help anyone?

Thanx,

Charles

Your wireless router shares the Internet connection between both
computers, so you don't need to set up the WinXP computer as the
Internet server. If you've enabled Internet Connection Sharing on
winxp, disable it.

Configure Win95's TCP/IP properties to obtain an IP address
automatically. Set its workgroup name to MSHOME to match WinXP.
