Networking
I am unable to find my other computer on the network. Have checked all settings and run through the Win 98 troubleshooter. Is there any simple way of checking that the cable is not faulty. i.e. a program that can send a signal ? The computers were reading each other a short while ago . I have recently installed Zonealarm and altered a few security settings. Could this have caused the problem?
I recall downloading that program and then deciding that I couldn't use it after reading the readme because it conflicts with Internet Connection Sharing (which I use). Do you recall which settings you altered? If you uninstall ZoneAlarm is your network back? Did you run through this troubleshooter yet? http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q192/5/34.ASP

Zone Alarm will prevent you from communicating with the other system if you have the Internet security set for high. you can check this by double clicking on the icon in the system tray. Lower right corner of your screen... go to the security tab and try lowering the setting for internet all the way to the bottom. Or even just turn off Zone Alarm to test your system. After that lgrover tells you the perfect way to test the network.
