2 Windows 98 Machines Networked

I have two WIN98se machines and I want to network them
through a switch. I have been to the support site and
knowledge base from Microsoft and still can quite get it
done. It there a trick or maybe something that is not
clicked. Thanks.

load IPX and set the frame type to 802.3(best for IPX
gaming). If you are not connecting to the internet you
will need to set static ip address of 90.0.0.1 and 90.0.0.2
and a subnet of 255.255.255.0. If you are going to connect
to the internet (dsl/cable modem/t1) I fould suggest you
get a cheap firewall router and follow the instructions
that come with it.

I hope this helps.
