Can't get wives computer networked to mine?
This is a discussion about Can't get wives computer networked to mine? in the Windows Networking category; I just finished networking my wives computer to mine. She is running Win98se and I am running XP Pro. This is the first time I have had anything to do with networking so I don't know if I did everything right lol.

This is the first time I have had anything to do with networking so I don't know if I did everything right lol.
I set it all up using the XP disk, making a network floppy and using that on the wives computer and it all seemed to install fine. The problem is that mine gives a message saying "a network cable is unplugged"? I normally use an external USB modem for my computer as I have ADSL so I hooked the network up to my onboard network card
Can anyone help out with this please?
Many thanks in advance

I had a feeling this was the problem but I has hoping that I was wrong

Thanks for that, this is the modem that was supplied by the isp so I guess I am stuck with it till my contract runs out. We don't have those choices here where I am, cable, adsl etc are only a year or two old so it's relatively new
