heres what i got:
laptop running 98SE
desktop running XP

both in same workgroup
both can see eachother in the net.hood
everything is fine right?

question is:
sometimes they dont "talk/see" eachother, and it takes a couple refreshes, sometimes even 10-20 minutes for it to finally just pop up in the net. hood. why is that?

is it b/c my crossover cable could have a bad connection/wiring, or something wrong with my hardware? it works sometimes, but sometimes it doesnt cooperate. how do i get around this?

THANKS A WHOLE BUNCH =) ;(

Dynamic Disks on XP Pro WTF??
