Pls help me on networking desktop and laptop with different OS

[papaya4duron]

Hi,

I want to network my desktop and laptop. My desktop installed Win2K and my laptop has Win98 SE. I am using switch and cables. I setuped a user for my laptop on my desktop. And I also followed the acticle on Anantech to configure my networking. But two computers can't see each other besides there was only once on which the laptop can see the desktop.
Thanks.

Some more inf.
I used switch and CAT5 cables. Two computers do have network cards. I also saw the light on the network cards.
The problem is my laptop installed many other protocols after I installed cardbus network card for my laptop. Do I have to remove some of them?
There are dialup adapter and Lan adapter.
Thanks.

Easiest way to network windows comps is to make sure you're setup using Microsoft Netbeui protocal.
