Home network, should you or shouldn't you :) Now I am back where I was last night. Zeus1 (the compaq computer with a card in the ISA slot) see's itself and Zeus2 and I can transfer files back and forth, I can access everything on both computers from zeus1. Does this mean the cabling is OK? Does it also mean that both cards are functioning properly? What I did was remove the device in device manager (talking about zeus2 with a card in the PCI slot). I booted zeus2 and went through the PnP process again. This time when it asked for the Win 95 disc I gave it the Win 95 disc from the Compaq computer (zeus1) because it has more recent Win 95 software on it. This time I got no messages about new vs old. But, Zeus2 still does not see itself or zeus1. The error message is "unable to browse the network..the network is not accessible and refers me to the network trouble shooting guide. I went through the trouble shooting process which is the same as your points ie same workgroup etc. In the end the troubleshooter said it couldn't help me :( Am I using NETBEUI or TCP/IP as both are in the list? I have not set any TCP\IP settings yet. If I give specific settings could this help? Zeuspaul
