HELLO, I AM TRYING TO NETWORK MY WINDOWS 98 COMPUTER TO
MY XP MACHINE. BOTH COMPUTERS ARE CONNECTED TO A ROUTER
WHICH IS INTURN CONNECTED TO MY INTERNET PROVIDER. WHY
CAN I NOT FIND EITHER COMPUTER ON MY NETWORK??

Please don't use ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Some of us older folks have
trouble reading it when you do. Thank you.

Run XP's Network Setup Wizard on both computers and tell it that they
connect to the Internet through a residential gateway (router).
