What protocols hav u got installed on the network of 98?

Have you got NetBIOS (protocol) running on the 98 machine and all IP settings correct?

Just make sure both machines are sitting in the same subnet with the same IP range and in the same workgroup/domain.

Also, make sure the Win98 machine has NetBIOS and TCP/IP running. You most likely wont need any other protocols.

Not quite sure what you mean by "router main pc"?!

Does that mean you have a router and a main PC or is your main PC acting as a router?

What type of switching are you using? Router have its own switch built in?!

Answer those mate and i'll help ya further.
