i have a network of an xp deskto and a win 98 desktop and a router. the router takes
care of the internet connection using DHCP and also has a built in switch which is
my network medium as well. the computers work great together. just leave domain alone
and name the workgroups the same and have netbios enabled on both machine as the
network protocal and tcp/ip as your internet protocal.
have fun and enjoy the joys of networking
