Thank you.
I have gotten the network up and can see both computers. I deleted the additional
netbeui and kept the TCP/IP. Also my friend (mac guy) mentioned that he could not
get his work computers to connect without a hub. I tried this and voila, connected.
However, I didn't think that you needed a hub if you only had two computers, is
this true. Because I was planning on connecting my parents two computers if I didn't
need a hub ( I only have one)
