sorry - have to disagree. TCP/IP is best protocol to use (its Microsoft's own, so 
best support - also if you have an internet connection on one of the machines you 
can share it using 98SE ICS over TCP/IP - or using a proxy server). Also - for someone 
trying to set up a network and having trouble, obviously not a network expert, its 
just confusing having had a recommendation to use TCP/IP to get another to use netbeui. 
I know both will do this job, but its not a good idea to install both protocols (additional 
resources used for no use). If Marty posts back not able to get TCP/IP to work - 
then a suggestion to try netbeui instead would be useful.

What I'm trying to say is can't we support Marty to get his network up and running 
(your comment about using netbeui rather than tcp/ip is not helpful in the current 
context. I've always been able to get TCP/IP to work with 98 machines).
