71604 2002-08-16 07:09:00 Hi all,
I run two computers at home. The first one is Win 98SE, connected to the internet via 56k modem. ICS is enabled, so that my second PC, running XPpro, can also access internet. They are connected over a 100mb network.

I 'enable' the network on the XP machine, to allow file/printer/internet sharing etc.

Whenever I shutdown the XP machine, or simply 'disable' the connection (whether I am connected to the internet or not), the win98 machine will always freeze up after a couple of minutes, with only a reboot bringing it back to life. This is quite frustrating, as I have to leave the XP machine on, until I am finished using the win98 machine.

Can anyone help?
