Perhaps you could post what you have in Network in the Configuration Tab, for each machine, there may be clues there.
Cheers

142066 2003-05-10 09:16:00 I will but I'm sort of starting over. I have just upgraded from win98 to win 2k on my p4 grunt machine. & just reformatted my laptop p2 but still using win98.
But I will get on to it because when something doesn't work I dig my heals in. & usually I win.

142067 2003-05-10 22:07:00 Well I spent some time trying to get my network going last night. first I could not find the right driver so I tried the the next model driver & found after I installed the driver the it was unable to install a particular file. No wonder I was sold the thing so cheap. When I was searching the net for the driver I came accross a few forums about the card I have, saying how people cold not install the the pesky thing.

142068 2003-05-10 22:25:00 Is it possible to try 3rd party "generic" drivers? somebody (208)
142069 2003-05-11 02:02:00 good question Ron Bakker (356)
142070 2003-05-11 03:13:00 Try an NE2000 driver. Most ethernet cards (at least used to :D) emulate the ne1000 because that "generic" card was designed for Netware, which was (is?) a very important network system. Graham L (2)
142071 2003-05-11 05:15:00 Have you tried checking that both boxs are using the same speed and duplex settings?

even without a share and both configured in device manager / network settings / tcp/ip and a cable attached i assume it should still be possible to ping between machines

example ping 192.168.0.1

Try pinging the same machine as well which is like a loopback test.

142072 2003-05-11 05:18:00 Does the model say anything more than
'Dlink dfe 650 driver'

Here is a quick match, but without further details i cannot be sure if it is an exact match.
