Some people just enjoy doing things in a different way to be difficult.

Just thought of the next step.
Are you using compatible IP addresses for all machines?
If you go into Control Panel; Network and double click the TCP/IP for the network card what are the IP addresses?
Tick "Specify an IP address"
One local range you can use is 192.168.0.x (x being different on each machine in the range 1 to 255)
Subnet mask being 255.255.255.0

105413 2002-12-14 02:35:00 You can run a very nice LAN system with IPX/SPX: Netware. :D Graham L (2)
105414 2002-12-16 09:32:00 Thanks for all of the suggestions, folks.

Unfortunately a rapidly-approaching Christmas and the arrival of friends from the UK will hold up the tinckering for a while.

All of your suggestions have been gratefully received, and I'll get back with the outcome just as soon as there is one.

In the meantime, though, can anyone suggest what I should do to load IPX/SPX onto the laptop. Everytime I try to do it it fails as a result of not being able to find the drivers. I have the W98SE disk, and I think that they are in a .zip file on this, but the OS doesn't seem to be able to find them, even if I tell the install procedure to look in the appropriate place on the CD.

Have a good Christmas everyone.
