Very simple networking problem

I have two computers and a 100BT hub. They're obviously connected to it, and I get connection lights on both NICs and the hub. They won't recognize each other. They're on the same workgroup, and I've even tried the M$ home networking wizard to no avail. One is WinME with all of the patches, and the other is 98se. Any suggestions?
 
You probably set both computers to "Obtain IP automatically." This won't work if you're not running a DHCP server, which I'm assuming you're not.

You have to give both computers IP addresses manually in the same subnet... try using the 10.0.0.x range, where x is the number of the computer.
So, computer # 1 would be 10.0.0.1, and computer #2 would be 10.0.0.2.
A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 on both should work.

g'luck.
