If you're using static IP's you have to assign the addresses, like you mentioned below. The last octet can range from 001 to 254. ps Windows98 and below is a little harder to setup. good luck > A while back in another forum, I was told that to get a home network going > properly (though I found it not to be necessary for WXP to W98 on my desktop > to Lib), I'd need to assign fixed IP addresses to each system.
