I solved the problem as far as networking the computers. It was a matter of giving the Node 2 cpu running XP a different workgroup name, then the workgroup name assigned to it by Win98 when it runs that because that works in tandem with Node 1 running Win98. Now, it's just a matter of getting the shared internet working, and I think an updated version of Sygate that supports XP networking will do the trick.

Yes Guest, it was a highly technical question and I considered throwing it on the Usenet...but based on my time spent here, surprisingly you can get answers to just about anything from the knowledge base of the collective membership here. If I hadn't have solved it, I'm 100% certain another more technically savvy Mudcat member would have solved it for me. I have faith. *G*

Cheers,
