What model number is your D-Link? &nbsp;If it's a router, then it will get the one IP from your ISP and assign two new (private) IPs to your PCs. &nbsp;If your D-Link is a hub, then I'd expect the problem you've described where only one PC gets an IP (and it's an IP from your ISP).<br />

I have a desktop that runs Win2k hooked up to a ActionTec DSL router - Internet runs fine. &nbsp;I have a Win98 laptop hooked up through a wireless d-link router that is cabled to the ActionTec and that connection works fine. &nbsp;My problem is trying to get either computer to recognize each other on the network neighborhood. &nbsp;I've installed TCP/IP and Microsoft Client on the Win98. &nbsp;I've shared folders on both computers but neither one will see the other one. &nbsp;I only get one IP address which is managed by the ActionTec and gives a signal to either computer, but I want to transfer files between the two over the connection. &nbsp;Any suggestions?

Networking behind DSL router

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
