Error Messages:


I have never networked my PC's, so I have no idea where to start, but my son went out and bought two PCI network cards and an 8 port router and a very long length of cat 5e cable(I think thats what he called it).
He connected it all together and nothing appears to be working, by nothing I mean we arent networked and he cant access the internet from his machine, his setup is - cable from his PC(upstairs) to the router P2, my PC connected to the router P1, and my PC is connected to the internet via USB cable and external modem.
It certainly doesnt seem to be doing what he said it would, Help please:(

Is Win98SE installed on both pc's?
Did you set up the Host computer and the other as the Client computer?
