Can I do this?Hello,
After researching many sources, I realize that I lack the final piece of information to complete my goal. I have a Dell XPS wired directly to a D-Link G Wireless Router which brings in satellite internet. I have a Micron 98SE in the same room that I'd like to network with the Dell as well as access the internet. My first choice is to have both computers WIRED (as opposed to wireless) to the router and each other. I am new to routers. Can I set up the local 2 machine network through the router? I'm looking for a solution that would be accessible all the time without any switches. What am I missing in information? Thank you for any thoughts, Ellen Ellen Hall wrote:

Plug an ethernet cable into your Win98's ethernet card (assuming it has one) and set up your local area network. If your Win98 box doesn't have an ethernet card installed, you'll need to buy one and put it in. They are very inexpensive. Here are some links to help you network your two computers. http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/filesharing.htm (Home) http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/index.htm (Pro) http://www.practicallynetworked.com/support/troubleshoot_index.htm http://www.practicallynetworked.com/howto/ http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/addxp.htm - Adding XP to an existing network http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/myths.htm Malke

I had to assume that the local network could be created through the router, but didn't know for sure. Thanks for your reply and the links. And my regards to The Empress of the World!
