Heh, I wish it were that simple. I've got a new problem now. I'm currently connected
to the internet, but i still can't seem to focus in on my LAN. The other computers
see each other with 98 but this XP machine is oblivious to the whole thing. No one
else can see it, and it can't see anyone. Disgusting really. Wasn't this OS designed
to make networking a breeze?
