I'm trying to build a small home network for my family.
I'm using a Linksys router (HPRO200).
The internet cable modem is connected to its WAN input.
The Ethernet LAN connection from the router is connected the Ethernet card
going to PC1.
The HPNA connection from the router is connected the telephone wall plug.
PC2 and PC3 are connected to the phone outlets in different rooms in the
house with Linksys phone line cards (HPN100).
I've configured the router, gave the three PCs unique names, and presto, we
all have internet access at 100MBPS for PC1 and 1MBPS for PC2 and PC3.

Here is my problem.

I should be able to share devices among all PCs, but I can't seem to be able
to setup the systems to recognize each other's existence.
I'm running win2k pro on 2 of the boxes and win98 on the other.

I will appreciate any help/clues any of you gurus out there can provide.

TY

Vincent,

I think this post would best be handled in the
microsoft.public.win2000.networking newsgroup. This post has been
forwarded there and the FollowUp-To is set to that as well, so any
replies to this post should only go to that group.
