my main machine has windows 98se and uses broadband. Then I got a linksys cable/dsl router so I could use the connection with my older windows 95 machine.

Since adding the network card to the '95 machine it asks me to login to the network (the 98se machine never has) and the 98 machine can see the other computer with no trouble in network neighborhood - the options set in "Network" APPEAR to be the same on both machines (unless I'm overlooking something), is there a way to NOT log the 95 machine in and still have access to the network?

Thanks!

Every LAN computer needs a logged on user. You can disable the Windows logon screen, in which case one of the users is set to be the default user, who is automatically logged on when Windows starts. If network logon is set to Windows logon, you want get a network logon screen either.

Yeah instead of Client for Microsoft networks set it to Windows logon. It's as simple as that.
