Welllllllll, I'm not sure what you mean by "if the network is setup".  All
three can connect to the INet... ???

Huuuuh?  Would you be meaning: "My Network Places"?  I can see WinXP
(MSHome) and W98SE (Workgroup) [and wfw311 isn't even showing because it's
my DOS/Fidonet box and wfw is not on that often].  Each have some folders
and some folders have some files...  I'll try to drag and drop something
from one folder on one box to another folder on the other box and see what
happens.

Somewhere?  The router is setting the DHCP service and assigning the IP
addresses depending on which box was powered up first, after the router got
power...  My SMC7004VBR router has a firewall (and I did a basic setup) and
I don't think I require ZA (or any other firewall software).

 JP>         Mine also is XPP and I use a WL router + Zone Alarm and

I know about ZA and McAfee (I use F-Prot on the XP and NAV on the W98SE),
but could you explain XPP and the "WL" router?

           Cheers ... Gerald
