Assuming that your hardware is functioning, and you are using the correct type of CAT5 cables.
All computers can have one, two, or three, of the following Network Protocols:
1. TCP/IP - must be installed for Internet
2. NetBEUI ? simple, no IP scheme, Internet safe (recommended as Default Protocol).
3. IPX/PX ? needed for some LAN games.
The three can reside together BUT - All computers must have the same Default Protocol..
All used Protocols are bound to the Ethernet Card.
All computers have the same Workgroup name.
Each computer has it own unique name.

The following is the Sharing Setting in Win98!!!
You will not see a Computer in the Network Neighborhood, unless it shares something.
Make sure that you Logon as Client for Microsoft Network.
There are three places to be checked for sharing:
The first two are in Control Panel, Network.
1. The Protocol that you are using for sharing, has to be bound to Client for Microsoft Network, and Sharing is Checked in the protocol's properties menu.
2. The general File and Print Sharing has to be installed, and checked.
The third in "My Computer" folder.
3. Individual Drive or/and printer has to be checked for sharing.
Right click on the device to share, choose properties, click on the sharing Tab, check Shared As, and give it a name.
For printer:
Click My Computer, click on Printers, right click on the printer that you want to share, click on Properties, choose the Sharing tab, checked share, give it a name.
Important: The Shared Printer Drivers has to be installed on all computers that use this printer.
