Connecting two computers with a crossover cable

I am having problems connecting my two Win 98SE computers with a ethernet cable (no hub). I have just recently retreived my Network Neighborhood icon. I have never connected a network before. Both computers have the same workgroup name and different computer names. The ethernet cards are recognized in device manager with no problems. The cable is connected. I only get the computer I am on, in the network neighborhood. I have tried to install TweakUI but no icon appears in my control panel. My Network Neighborhood icon is the flying windows if that means anything. Someone said to use the "Network Setup Wizard" which I could not find on my computer anywhere.
