A NIC connection will require you to have Microsoft Network Client
installed in Control Panel > Networking, AND File and Printer Sharing
enabled. You MUST also share some folders/files on the computers. It is
NOT recommended to share the entire disks or the system folders...
Null modem or direct comm port cable connect requires using the
supplied Accessory or some other communication program.

Yes. The computers will automatically assign themselves private IP
addresses in the 169.254.x.x range after waiting for DHCP requests to
time out at startup.
To make startup faster, assign them static IP addresses in one of
these ranges:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255

hi group
Particularily, I want to have automatic configurations
only because it is the more rapid solution,
but now I have a Win98 that automatic
config is no working anymore, Win98 doesn't connect
to internet, but I shall no use, at least by now
non auto configurations.
Perhaps I modified some config values
I have unistalled all, and installed again
Client for Microsoft Networks
Ethernet controller
TCP IP and, in this I have
- obtain IP automatically
- use DHCP for WINS
- do not use DNS
thanks very much in advance,
Carlos.
