You need to make sure that both have TCP/IP enabled.

Make sure both have the same workgroup name.

Configure drives on both to be shared.

Thanks for the help. We finally got it to work. OS was 98se.

BTW ill try that link out. I'm really into building machines, but I'm a networking n00b. So if anyone could post some links on setting up LAN's, or any networking sites that you know it would be helpfull. I've searched and couldn't find any really helpful websites.
