Hi all, I'm new to networking so I'm having some problems. I have three computers I'd like to network: A Dell PC with Win98 SE (connected to cable modem), an old Micron PC with Win95, and a new Compaq Laptop with Windows XP. I'm using or trying to use Linksys Homelink 10M Phoneline networking (A 10M Phoneline Cable/Dsl Router, Two 10M Phoneline network cards and one 10M laptop network card).
I just finished installing the laptop network card, but it keeps saying the "network cable is unplugged" even though I hooked up the phone wire from the laptop to the outlet.
Another problem is that I can't see other computers in the network. Is this because I didn't hookup the router yet ? How do I set up a networking account with user name and password to log on to the network?
Thanks for any info.
