Please help. I just installed a Blitzz 802.11b wireless
network on the two PCs in my home. The host pc is
running WINXP and the other pc with the wireless pc
adapter is running 98SE. After several hours of trying I
still cannot share files or internet connection. I have
designated which files/directories can be shared and also
allowed for internet connection sharing.

The wireless connection is good; the 98SE machine reads
that the link and strength are at least at 90%. Why can
I not see the shared directories or connect to the
internet from the 98SE? Any help will be greatly
appreciated. Over the 2 past days I have spent at least
10 hours trying to get this to work.

If you have a router and have also enabled ICS then you need
to pick one, not both.
