I am trying to setup a network at home.. actually i have done it before.. i have 3 pcs, one has w2k the other two have win98se installed. they used to regonize each other on the network neighborhood however i disconnected the hub and took one computer up to a camp. when i bring it back none of the computer regonize each other on the network.. if i do find computer on the w2k computer it will find the computer name and stuff but won't show up on the neighborhood... the only changes is the position of where the rj45 cables connected on the hub and the new motherboard that i installed p3v4x on the w2k computer...would these 2 cause the this problem??
thanx in advance

When installing new MB it is best to first remove all adapters in device manager, and then let them be found and reinstalled in the new MB. If you didn't do that, do it now. Then, when the NIC is reinstalled (best in PCI slot 2 or 3), reenter your network settings.
