Me and a friend are trying to network our boxes, we usen BNC with terminators etc, all our stuff is set up the same (we using 98se) Ips set to 10.2.1.12 and 10.2.1.13 subnet is 255 255 255 0 but they cant see each other only the one PC
drive sharing is on and active but nada happen. any help?
 
The subnet mask you are using is incorrect. The IP address you mentioned is class A, for which the default mask is 255.0.0.0.
If these are private addresses on a LAN, then you can assign class C addresses (eg. 192.168.x.x.) and be able to use the mask
255.255.255.0. Otherwise, 255.0.0.0. is the subnet mask you want. Also make sure both machines are on the same workgroup & try pinging between the two.

Hope this helps.
