Off topic - Windoze networking /Ghost

[Joe]

Hi. Windoze (98 se) question:  Could someone spend a few minutes (on the 
phone, preferably) to talk me through getting Windoze networking 
(ethernet)  going between my notebook and desktop.  It almost works, but 
not quite.  I'm pretty sure the hardware is all fine and the 
configuration is partially correct.

That will be somewhat useful, but my main goal is to get the network 
connection working so I can back up the notebook to the desktop using 
ghost.  I don't know quite enough to get it all set up correctly and I 
don't have a manual.  I bought a disk-only version.

If someone has some time, please email me off list.

BTW, I'm sure I could work with the desktop using Linux (and not have to 
use ghost), but I've seen so many posts on Samba configuration issues, 
that I don't think I want to try to tackle that approach.

Thanks.

Joe
