aight. first and foremost: does your internet setup work? if thats a yes, i'll assume that the router/eq is propery configured and functioning correctly.
now, this is what you have to do:
1) Make sure both computers are in the same workgroup (set it to something simple, like HOME, or whatever). (you can do this in win2k by right clicking on my computer, selecting properties and then network identification. How you do it on win98, i dunno, but search the help file (Start -> help))
2) in both of the computers, enable file sharing (start -> control panel -> network and dialup connections (or network connections) -> make sure the "file and printer sharing" are checked. i think they are checked by default, off the top of my head.
3) the most important step! go to my computer, and on the drive you want to share, right click. you should see a "sharing" option, left click on that. (or alternatively, left click on properties, and go to the sharing tab). Enable sharing. pick a name. and your set.
to access, either use \\computername or double click on network, and look around till you find the computers.
Sorry, im not too sure about the location of any of these steps... its been a few years since i've used win98. anything you cant find, search the help for =)
hope this helps.
