RE: This is probably due to them being configured for different IP networks, the router probably has DHCP on it so set the 98 box to "Obtain IP address automatically" and it should then work. I will try to do this tomorrow. It was not practical to set this router up in the same locacation as the primary machine and movig cables is a bit of a hassle. Not only was better visibility for the RF connection a goal but the area around the XPPro machine is flooded with a 2.4GHZ video link. It would also be a good idea to catch up on real work before getting too deep. You guys have certainly taken me a long ways into the problem. It is a great help to get pointed in the general direction of the solution!
