Zeuspaul, What you have is almost certainly an IRQ conflict. You probably have an older sound card that is not PnP compliant. Sound cards tend to grab the resources THEY want, irregardless of what Windows assigns. You can probably fix things by going into the Device Manager area of System Properties as previously described. If not, you might want to reinstall windows with the network card installed. When asked, let Windows locate installed hardware. This will not affect any of your apps or files, but may allow Windows to sort out your various cards. I think the most I ever learned about Windows95 was during the week it took to get my first home network up and running using noname $15 Chinese network cards. Using 3Com cards greatly simplified the process when I upgraded. When you finally get your net up and running, you'll have a real sense of accomplishment. I can just about guarantee that before that time, you'll beat your head on the wall and decide a home network is not such a good idea. Once you get the first two computers up and talking to each other, subsequent ones are a snap. Good luck on the ovens. Ken

Good luck on the oven installation :<), bet it's easier than the network <G> Ken's suggestion is a good one if your running Win95 on the two machines you are setting up as the network. The peer to peer should be pretty simply to accomplish and let you print from both if the printer is installed on your network. First things first, get your network cards installed and recognized by Win without the errors, as I said Ken's idea may work real simple and fast. Once you have the network cards going the rest should be easy for a simple peer to peer. Open Contro Panel, open Network folder, select "configuration", select "Client for Microsoft Networks" (highlight it), select properties and then select the last of the 3 options you have "Network Logon Options" "Logon and restore network options". Select OK and then go to "Identity", you have to give each computer on the network a different name i.e. Zeus 1, Zeus 2, and so forth. Keep them all on the same workgroup i.e. ZeusNet.. Go to "access control" select share level access-control. Reboot and you should be able to see the two systems files in your "My Computer" directory. Make sure to give each unit a password when you first logon or leave the password field blank. If it's blank, all you have to do is hit OK when you logon in the future. It's real important that each computer has it's own name and that they are on the same "work group". Otherwise you won't see them together or the network won't recognize the unit's as a part of the same network. If your doing this in Win95 and not NT, bear in mind Win95 has no real security. So anyone logged on can access any files on either unit. With NT you can give each person their own "User Profile" and actually prohibit specific files from them. One reason I like NT so much for a network option. This work with NT Work Station as well. Good Luck......
