win98 network crashing

[ericdo]

I just installed a new hard drive and did a clean windows install up to 98se. The home network (linksys etherPCI LAN Card II) that worked fine before now locks up the main computer when using internet sharing. Also the shared printer locked it up a couple times. It's like the network just crashes the main machine. It either locks up or actually reboots.. any ideas? Everything worked fine before. Thanks!!

In which PC in the network did you install the new HD?

Can you explain it a bit more?

Thanks for the reply. I did figure it out though. I had IRQ conflicts. Windows had the NIC and the graphics card on the same IRQ and that was not a good thing. I solved that, fought that goofy internet connection sharing for a couple hours, won that battle, and all is well. Thanks again.
